Arthur “Art” Rascon (BA ’85), broadcast journalist for ABC-13 KTRK in Houston, is a 21-time Emmy Award–winning reporter. His work has landed him in several tight situations, from “being chased in the jungle by men with machetes in Nicaragua” to “having guns pulled on in the Middle East.”
“I remember watching the close of the Vietnam War on television. We only had three channels and we had the rabbit ears on the television. I had to sit there and hold them for my dad so he could watch the television it didn’t break up. I remember telling myself, ‘I think I want to be one of these guys.’ I had such a curiosity of the world—I wanted to report on it and see the faces and recognize more fully these stories.”
