KOMO’s
McCall Gives First-Hand Reporting on 9/11 & Iraq
A
newcomer to the Seattle area, Pamela McCall has joined the
broadcast news staff at KOMO Radio 1000, co-anchoring the afternoon
shift from 2:00-7:00 p.m. She and Eric Slocum help
Seattleites through the afternoon commute weekdays.
Pamela
is a native of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and holds a degree from the
BC Institute of Technology. She earned the Edward R. Murrow Award for
broadcast excellence.
“I was
working for CBS radio on 9/11 and was in New York when the planes
struck the Twin Towers. It was pretty harrowing, trying to determine
what was really happening and how widespread it was.” She played an
audio clip of her reporting during the early stages of the
tragedy … a report from 9/11 in progress. “It turned out to be the
worst attack on U.S. soil and my job was to record the sights and
sounds of this horrible event. I was reminded of Edward R. Murrow and
his reporting from London during World War II – 9/11 had that feel
to it.” READ MORE

Rotary
Foundation Chair Chuck Barnes issued the latest update on the
Club’s memorial contribution to the RI Annual Fund in honor of Dale
Hemphill. Chuck reported that contributions from 20 BBRC members,
plus a one from former BBRC member, Jim Givan, have grown the
memorial to $2,025.
Each
donation will be given an accounting to each contributor’s RF account,
as well as to Dale’s memorial. “There is no time limit on contributing
to this memorial. If you want to participate, checks should be made out
to the ROTARY FOUNDATION. Send them to me so I can credit your personal
account. It would be a good idea if, on the check, you note it for the
‘Dale Hemphill Memorial.’ Any questions, call or e-mail me” says Chuck.
