Ronald O. Forsell

Watched him on KIRO when I was a kid. The phrase "I don´t like it-reverse it!" is forever seared upon my memory.

He is my great grandpa i miss him and his wife my great grandma i am one of his three great grandchildren

I've known Ron since our family lived next to them at their summer place on Lake Chelan. Our families grew up together for over 30 years.
I have many memories of him and his wonderful wife Jan. Lots of them across the card table!!!
He will always be remebered by me with fond memories.

Ron was the go to man at KIRO TV News in the 60's ... Working with Ron you learned to cover the story from every angle. During the time of the ill-fated two and a half minute 5 News. Ron, 635 mike in hand, sidled up to a closed door and whispered what became a matra for the news room. "Behind these closed doors ..."
