If you all thought that Ms. Purvis' statements seemed a bit alarmist, I found this tidbit in the Memphis Daily News, "Margarette Purvis, daughter of longtime Fox 13 Memphis anchor Mearl Purvis, has been named president and CEO of Food Bank For New York City, the Big Apple's major hunger-relief organization."

So the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Even when the apple is in the Big Apple and the tree is in Memphis.
