You can be a part of establishing a scholarship at the University of Maryland to honor journalist Chris Houston who worked for Channel 9. His wife is our colleague here at Fox5, Karen Gray Houston.
Chris died earlier this year of pancreatic cancer, and Karen is working with his alma mater to establish an endowment that will fund a scholarship forever.
Chris was a mentor to many, and at the kick off reception last night, Karen said this tribute has given her a reason to smile in a very tough year. Please consider a donation
to the K. Christopher Houston Memorial Scholarship Fund.
Make checks payable to UMCP Foundation, Inc.
And mail donations to: Sheila Young
Director of Development
Philip Merrill College of Journalism
1117 Journalism Building
College Park, MD 20742

Thank you so much, and don't forget, many employers will match charitable donations.

I've anchored Fox Five Morning News since June 1990 and it's a privilege to try to bring you stories relevant to your lives. Every day is a new challenge, and my previous jobs were great preparation: White House correspondent for ABC News; an anchor and reporter for CBS News; an anchor and reporter for WJLA-TV; and a reporter for WPLG-TV in Miami. I have a wonderful husband and daughter, and lovable though undertrained dog.
