Last Monday, the last of the overlooked TV news staffers was finally recognized by the Newseum on their memorial.
I’m not Lenslinger, so I’m not going to write a long litany here about WTVD’s Bart Smith and his colleagues. All I can hope for is the result of the simple act of writing an email many months ago keeps their names from eventually facing the same fate of obscurity that the march of time has wrought upon the collective memory of their colleagues from decades past.
However, keep those who knew them personally in your thoughts and prayers, for time will never erase the memories for them.
