A newsroom surprise
June 13, 2006 5:32 PM
Executive Producer Jon Banner blogs about Bob Woodruff's first visit to the newsroom since he was injured in January.
We all crowded around Bob and his wife Lee, who has been so strong for all of us since that day in January. It was Bob who did most the talking. He cracked a few jokes and there were a lot of laughs. He talked about his rehabilitation, his desire to get back to work, and how wonderful it is to be able spend more time with his four children.
Charlie will have more about Bob’s visit on this evening’s broadcast.
We will post photos and videos soon.

I cannot tell you how thrilled I was to see the video of Bob in the newsroom tonight. He looks great--strong and determined; I cannot wait to see him back at work. Visiting the newsroom had to be such an important step in his recovery. Thanks for sharing it with all of us.

And a smile on my face to see the pictures of Bob Woodruf back in the newsroom. We, here in Butte have heard that one of the doctors who worked on Bob, lives among us, Dr. Sorini. We are proud that one of our citizens could assist one of the people who bring us the news. Thanks for sharing this GOOD news with us!

As soon as we heard that Bob Woodruff would be on the news tonight, we dropped everything to watch. We are so happy to see him and to know that he is getting better every day.
He has been missed and we look forward to seeing him and hearing him in whatever role he chooses to have regarding the news at ABC.
We've always viewed him as a gentleman and a scholar.

I have just seen the ABC news (with Charlie Gibson, loved him for years). I must tell you that your coverage of Bob Woodruff tonight was very comforting to me...I cried. I am a Social Worker and have had many head injured clients in my caseload. I have followed this story with great personal interest as I love ABC News(Peter Jennings,tragedy). To see him walking around and talking....AND JOKING...I am so happy for his family and for him. What a miracle! I worried about this as I am very familiar with what can be reality after this kind of injury. God bless.

G R E A T to see Bob Woodruff back. He was v-e-r-y lucky! Pray that other journalists still there also will survive, as 96 others havent. Looking forward to his personal meaningful views of situation there. Wishes for Bob's, Doug Vogt's and CBS's Kimberly Dozier's continued healing.

What a wonderful surprise!!! Thankyou for letting all the world share with you. I prayed for him and his family a speedy and full recovery. Thank goodness the Angels were with him. Can't wait to hear your voice and see your smiling face on the news again. God Bless.

I am from the Philippines but i used to watch Mr. Woodruff, Ms. Vargas and Mr. Gibson on WNT when Mr. Peter Jennings left to seek medical attention. WNT was my choice for evening news whenever i'm in Gardena, CA visiting my sister. Imagine the "shock" i had when i read about his accident on the internet. Since then, i have always gone to your website to get news about his recovery. I wish him and his family, God's continued guidance, blessings and love.
