As you’ve probably heard, "Meet the Press" moderator and NBC News Washington Bureau Chief Tim Russert has died suddenly today.

Russert eloquently spoke at the Indiana Chamber’s Annual Awards Dinner in 2004, bringing in the largest recorded attendance to date. Furthermore, he’s highly praised by those on our staff who had the opportunity to meet him. This BizVoice article from our 2004 September/October edition also provides some background into his life and his motivations.

The Chamber is grateful for Mr. Russert’s association with us and believes he will be remembered fondly by journalists, politicos, et al.
