The Best of Dick Kay
| Curator's note: Though Dick Kay ("Doogie", to his colleagues) is best known as a political reporter, he produced some remarkable feature stories. You can access some of the links below to view them, |

Dick Kay, in August, 1992 near Houston, Texas where he was covering
the Republican National Convention. Dick served as WMAQ-TV's political
editor for the better part of his thirty-eight year career which
ended with his retirement at the end of May, 2006. An illustrious graduate of Bradley University (which he attended on the G.I. Bill), Dick (whose real name is Richard Snodgrass) was born in a log cabin in rural Tennessee. The physician who delivered him was compensated with fifteen dollars and a hog. "Silver" is the name of the horse in the above photograph. |
