Birthday Week Gift Request Continues



Sunday, February 23 

As a former bartender, I know a generous tip can brighten anyone's day. So my Day 2 Birthday Week Gift Request is for you to tip a waiter, waitress, bartender or any person in the service industry a little extra today. So much so that they will smile.

Monday, February 24

As many know, my best friend Peyton Tuthill was killed on this day - February 24, 1999. Crazy to think it has been 15 years ago today. So my birthday gift request is for a donation to The Peyton Tuthill Foundation in my honor. Any amount will be greatly appreciated.

The Peyton Tuthill Foundation is a non-profit 501(c)(3)corporation founded by Pat Tuthill who was confronted with an unspeakable tragedy when her 23-year-old daughter Peyton was sexually assaulted, tortured and murdered by an unsupervised probationer who transferred from another state to Denver in 1999. The  foundation  provides assistance to victims of crime,  scholarships to homicide survivors,  protection of victims'  rights, and advocates for public safety through effective public policy. The Peyton Tuthill Foundation promotes safe offender re-entry into our communities to protect families.

As of July 2013, $30,000 in scholarships has been awarded. In January 2014 applications will be accepted for 2014 scholarship awards. This is possible because of the commitment and grassroots efforts and compassion of volunteers and generosity of others to help children whose lives have been shattered by violence and loss.

Thank you for your generosity! Cheers ~Ryan

Farewell to Dean Stephens of WCIV-TV

Image
  Working in local TV news was something I wanted to do since I was a child...ask my parents, I would stage interviews and anchor from the couch in our ranch-style home when we had smooth wood hugging the TV and its 4 channels. ABC, NBC, CBS & PBS during the 1980s. My dad is a news lover and from a young age, I always watched news. Most parents in today's world would say "She's too young. You can't expose kids to that!" But when did a Nelson truly listen to other people? I grew up watching Charleston TV news. I idolized local reporters during Hurricane Hugo like Cathy O'Hara, had a crush on Dan Krosse and was even scared to walk up to Kellen Butler when we were both at the Music Farm. Local TV was different back then in the 90s/2000s. I've told the story often but, humor me here... I was dating my boyfriend-now-husband, Darren, and was the traffic reporter for ABC News 4 in Charleston. I had never been a traffic reporter until then, but figured when I ...
