Famed Watergate era Washington Post executive editor Ben Bradlee was a "lunch-time mentor" to Kristen Daum (Michigan State Univ.) during our Winter/Spring 2008 Class.  Former White House press secretary Tony Snow posed with Daum and fellow class members Whitney Wyckoff (Univ. of Illinois) and Chris Watts (Northwestern State Univ.) at the National Press Foundation Dinner in February, just a few months before his untimely death in the summer of 2008.
