Mt. Airy Lodge owner Emil Wagner Dies 11-4-1999 News Clip

Channel-28 NewsClip of Mt. Airy Lodge owner Emil Wagner's death. Story aired on Thurs 11-4-1999, 1 day after Mr. Wagner's death.
In my former life before Broadcasting, I worked for the original Mt. Airy Lodge as a breakfast / lunch cook from 1989-1990.
I will forward this to the private group as my first contribution: I WORKED AT THE OLD MOUNT AIRY LODGE.
I stumbled upon this video while searching for another story on this old NewsReel.
I have home VHS video + pics during my time here which I will dig out someday and post here as well.
NewsClip runs 2 Min 15-seconds. And then I took freeze frames from the video.
Script:
IF MOUNT AIRY LODGE
CLOSES, ABOUT 6-HUNDRED
PEOPLE WILL LOSE THEIR JOBS,
AND THE POCONO RESORT
INDUSTRY WILL LOOSE A HUGE
PART OF IT'S HISTORY..
BUT NEITHER MATCHES THE
TRAGEDY OF THE MAN,
WHO MADE MOUNT AIRY HIS
LIFE..
((TAKE PKG))
[#MONROE COUNTY/TODAY]
((video of pictures of
stars..))
((Bob 00:1:20:00))
Mr Wagner really was the
promoter. He's the one who
brought Bob Hope and Alan
King, englebert Humperdink
and all those people, he's
the one who put that face to
mount airy.
POCONO MOUNTAIN VACATION
BUREAU DIRECTOR BOB
UGUCCIONI SPEAKS SADLY OF
THE MAN, WHO "WAS" MOUNT
[#COURTESY: POCONO RECORD]
AIRY LODGE SINCE THE
1950'S.
ON WEDNESDAY, 77-YEAR OLD
EMIL WAGNER TOOK HIS OWN
LIFE...
((video of resort))
[#MOUNT AIRY LODGE/TODAY ]
EARLIER THIS YEAR,
PLAGUED BY MOUNTING DEBT,
WAGNER PLACED THE RESORT
INTO RECEIVERSHIP.
A COMPANY CALLED HOSTMARK
MANAGMENT TOOK OVER
DAY-T0-DAY OPERATION.
TO GUESTS, IT REMAINED
A LUXURIOUS DESTINATION
RESORT.
[#WALTER HOMAN/MOUNT AIRY GUEST]
((Walter 00:10:00))
we always knew this was a
palace when I was a kid,
I'd hate to see it close.
[#RUTH HOMAN/MOUNT AIRY GUEST]
((Ruth 00:25:00))
It was lovely, I couldn't
ask for a better time.
BUT THE RESORT'S MORTGAGE
HOLDER HAD FORCLOSED ON A
29-MILLION DOLLAR NOTE, AND
MOUNT AIRY WAS UP FOR
SHERIFF'S SALE.
CITING GROWING LOSSES,
HOSTMARK WENT TO MONROE
COUNTY COURT THIS WEEK, TO
GET PERMISSION TO CLOSE
THE LODGE NEXT MONTH.
TWO DAYS LATER, EMIL
WAGNER, WAS DEAD.
[#BOB UGUCCIONI]
((Bob 4:00)) Mr. wagner
[#POCONO MT. VACATION BUREAU]
looked at mt airy as his
family, he had no immediate
family he wasn't married,
didn't have children, I
believe he thought he was
going to lose his family.
HOSTMARK WOULD NOT
COMMENT ON THE CLOSING.
WHICH BOB UGUCCIONI SAYS,
JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
((Bob 01:576))
Mount Airy had a very good
year this year, but the debt
situation caught up with
