For 7 years, Lee Ollerton has been a cornerstone of PBS Utah – bringing calm leadership, humor, and unmatched expertise to every project, including his role in the control room for The Hinckley Report. He was always available to help anyone with a question or a problem, and to offer guidance. We knew we could count on Lee for almost anything, and if he didn't know something, he would find out! Lee's time with us capped a 53 year career in television, which earned him a place in the Gold Circle of the National Academy of Arts and Sciences Rocky Mountain Southwest chapter. As Lee retires, we wish him the best in his next chapter. We'll miss you, Lee!
