Hal Colston on "Oprah"

Word has it a producer from the “Oprah” show will be in Burlington tomorrow–Friday, April 10–to film Good News Garage. Founder Hal Colston has already been interviewed by the producer, who talked to him about the GNG story as well as Colston’s second venture, the anti-poverty nonprofit NeighborKeepers. Colston says he’ll head to Chicago next Thursday, April 16, to tape the show “to capture my story as a local hero.” This follows last year’s piece in People magazine about Colston, and his appearance on “The Today Show.” Does this make him a pop-culture hero, too? Either way, dude’s deserving.
