The reason we were having such a difficult time tracking down agr Field Correspondent “Dr. Gillis” is because he was undercover!
We found Doc in the most unlikely of locales. But that’s what it takes to bring you fair and accurate news that agr is known for.

Good work amigo. Your theme song is solid.
