WPVI TV 6 Philadelphia 1994 AM Philadelphia Jim O'Brien Tribute.wmv

11 years after Jim O'Brien died, WPVI TV 6 featured a show about the Famous 56 Boss Jock DJ and WPVI TV 6 weatherman. He will live forever in the lives of people who knew him. His daughter, Peri Gilpin, is interviewed in this segment. She is the famous actress on the tv show Frazier. I was in high school when he was the weatherman on channel 6 and everyone at the school cafeteria lunch table would comment how great and entertaining he was the night before giving the weather forcast. One night Jim was telling us to look out for the ENNIE winds! He called the ENE (East North East) winds the ENNIE winds. He would also draw funny cartoon characters or slogans to sum up the next days weather. His delivery was not like a professional meteorologist but he could really communicate. You definitely remembered the weather forcast after he told it and smiled when you remembered his delivery.
