Weathering addiction
Spencer Christian, Va. native and former national television weatherman, has been haunted by a gambling addiction for decades
Growing up in Charles City County in the last decades of legally mandated racial segregation in Virginia, Spencer Christian did not think as a child he would someday become a top nationally known television weather forecaster. As a young adult in a new American era, he became a well-recognized television personality as part of ABC’s “Good Morning America” team for 13 years.
