Julie was a pro's pro
She called me on many occasions to get my take on the market , the themes , the flows , etc. .
She was fair, professional and always asked insightful, cogent questions . There are plenty of reporters , who are still employed at major networks or newspapers , who couldn't hold a candle to her
