Aaron can't stay out of the paper!

So I never did hear back from the reporter about the picture on Monday so we're not sure if that was Aaron or not but we know he was definitely in the paper this morning.  A reporter did a ride-along with him yesterday to get some info on a story they're doing about the layoffs at Station 8.  He wanted to see how the layoffs will affect the workload at Aaron's station.  The following are the Record Searchlight photos and captions....
