Celebrities opt for second career

Karen Mahoney reports, Special to Mature Lifestyles, a supplement to our Catholic Herald, on the second careers of former local radio personality Bob Dolan and TV weatherman Jim Ott.

Ott didn't count on working in television to age 65, earned a law degree in 2000, and after retiring was elected to the state legislature.

For the past 22 years, Ott and his wife Carol have hosted a grief ministry support group at the parish. Ott met Carol during a period of mourning, after they each lost a spouse.

Dolan and his wife now have a weekly travel show that airs in several television markets. As for Church involvement, I assume he's busy reminding his older brother, Archbishop Timothy Dolan, that he knew him when.
