Maureen McFadden, described in this twitter feed as the "Walter Cronkite" of South Bend TV news, recently retired after 40 years of TV broadcasting.
Her opening tweet:

@CNN @BrookeBCNN
Don’t let the malcontents sway you. I am twice @PeteButtigieg age and spent my entire life in South Bend and worked 40 years in media. He has done more to try and mend our community than anyone I remember.

Many thoughtful comments follow, by McFadden and other South Benders, including members of the black community.
