Thanks to a $1,000 contribution by Putnam Pit cartoonist and
columnist c.d. 'Sonny Boy'
norman, the Darlene Eldridge Investigative Reporting Fund at Loyola University
New Orleans now stands at $1,340. If the fund reaches $10,000, the university
will be able to sustain the grant on the interest the principal earns.
The money will be used to help Tennessee students enrolled in Loyola's
Department of Communications to either fund an investigative project that
otherwise could not be done, or to acquire technology or other tools that
would help the student develop skills necessary to serve the community
through investigative journalism. Another $40 contribution was made in
the name of Cookeville attorney Joseph Edwards, of Edwards & Edwards.
For information on how to make a tax-deductible contribution in the name
of the murdered Cookeville school teacher, e-mail Alfred
L. Lorenz, Ph.D. Other contacts for Dr. Lorenz:
