: : A benefit for WBBM-AM morning traffic reporter TJ Andrew is being planned.
: This is a great. I can't participate since I work Sundays but I'll find a way to do something.
: (& didn't his brother get shot by Lori Dann years ago?)
After the Hubbard Woods School shooting, Lori Dann holed up in the Andrew residence in Winnetka, eventually taking her own life. Brother Phil was shot in the driveway, but recovered and later ran for state representative. TJ provided dramatic reports to Shadow Traffic radio and television affiliates throughout that incredible day; and assisted other reporters on the scene. He was at his best under these most challenging personal circumstances. That was 21 years ago; and day after day since then, TJ provided accounts of major and routine traffic and news items with accuracy and humor.
