Dee enjoyed each and every piece of her calling with WGN-TV, Channel 9 – first as a columnist and staff observer from 1972 until 1983, and a short time later as administrator of neighborhood until she left the station in 2008.

An alum of Englewood High School in Chicago, Dee began her telecom vocation at WBEE radio in south country Harvey in 1966.
She changed to TV two years sometime later, working with programs on WCIU-TV 26 and subsequently WSNS-TV 44.
It was while working at WSNS-TV in 1971 that Dee and one of her guests, visionary Alan Sandler, were captured outside the station.
Each was shot in the head, and Sandler was killed, while Dee was left for dead. In any case, Dee sorted out some way to crawl away and search for help.
