I've been trying to remember somebody for the past hour, or so, from ABC World News Tonight and for the life of me can't remember his name.

There was a reporter, maybe a fill-in anchor for Peter Jennings on World News Tonight in the '80s. I was very small, so my memory isn't that vivid. Anyway, all I can remember was he had a beard and kind of a high-pitched voice a la Dick Schaap. I used to get the two of them confused because this guy and Schaap were on ABC news at the same time.

Anyone remember who this is?

This is the best I can do, to offer you some Wikipedia links
& suggest you skim them to see if a name jumps out at you that you recognize:
ABC World News - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ABC News - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It's easier than ever to find current info. but when it comes to finding out about something that happened in the past,
before people were compulsively cataloging things on the internet, it seems a lot tougher.

Was the guy middle-aged or older at the time, was his beard dark or white ? Just trying to place the vintage of the anchor/reporter (how old he'd have been in the 1980s).
