She said they had a radio tribute planned in Heckbert's memory tomorrow. He was a good man. He will be missed. As for a family fund, he was well known in Medford, being a resident and all. I've put a call into the Chamber of Commerce here and awaiting a return call.
Someone there knows how to get in touch with the family.
Will post more when I have more info. The crawl may have come from the studio that Dateline was being fed from or it was added by news. In any event there is no excuse for this to happen. Go about 2 miles on Rt. 60, past Osco and over Fellsway.
