Saying Good Bye To Tim Russert

I was finishing up training with someone when I look up at the TV screen. It was flashing some information when it said the following





TIM RUSSERT, HOST OF NBC'S MEET THE PRESS AND WASHINGTON BUREAU CHIEF DIES





It was a total shock to me and to everyone.





I would like to think my role model when I was at IPFW and College Cable Access Center was Tim Russert. I try to model my Public Affairs show IPSGA Update like MEET THE PRESS. I think I did a great job and I would always end my interviews with these words, "AND THAT HAS TO BE THE LAST WORD."

And he would sign off, IF it's Sunday, IT'S MEET THE PRESS

I am wondering what this Sunday will be like?
