: : : I first heard about this on WGN - a Randy Salerno golf outing for the foundation created in his name. : : : Anyway tonight in a promo, Ann State on CBS 2 said "a very special dedication to our late colleague Randy Salerno" and "he would have loved it". : : : There's something REALLY tacky and cheap about having Ann State say stuff like that when she didn't know Randy Salerno at ALL. She arrived in Chicago MONTHS after his death. : : : : What does this Randy Salerno Foundation benefit anyway? : : Found it. From rememberingrandy.com (which has a VERY large CBS 2 presence on this independent web site): : "The Randy Salerno Foundation dedicates these events to helping students of any age, race or ethnic background pursue a career in broadcast journalism. One of the key missions of this foundation is to promote the importance of broadcast journalists� responsibility to serve their communities. The Randy Salerno Foundation is committed to helping raise funds in a variety of ways, and providing aid to those seeking educational assistance and/or pursuing projects which better our community. All financial assistance will be distributed locally to benefit deserving causes within the Chicagoland area. : Two of the many recipients for 2008 include CL South High School and Illinois State University." : : Interesting.
