Washington, D.C. November 28, 2018 Congressman Bradley Byrne (R-AL) delivered a speech on the floor of the House of Representatives today to recognize Fox 10 News Anchor Bob Grip on his upcoming retirement. The transcript of Congressman Byrne's speech can be found below. Congressman Byrne said: Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate Bob Grip on his retirement after 33 years at Fox 10 News in Mobile, Alabama and an even more impressive 48 years in journalism. Bob has been a mainstay on televisions in Southwest Alabama and the Florida Panhandle for over three decades. Through his work at the anchor desk, Bob helped create a more informed community. Just as impressive is Bob's contribution away from the TV station. He has dedicated countless hours to numerous service organizations and programs, including teaching journalism classes and hosting high school academic competitions. One of my fondest memories with Bob was when he tagged along for a day of my town hall meetings in rural Alabama. At each stop, Bob was the highlight. In fact, there is no doubt more people were excited to see Bob than their Congressman. It was a testament to just how loved and respected Bob Grip is by so many in Southwest Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I'm proud to call Bob a friend, and I want to wish him and his wife, Marie, all the best in retirement. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
