RIP Wendall Anschutz
http://www.kansascity.com/637/story/1668997.html


Wendall Anschutz, whose serious approach to news and folksy presence on camera made him Kansas City’s most popular news anchor throughout the 1980s, died Thursday morning. He was 71 and had been undergoing treatment for metastatic throat cancer at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

From 1966 to 2001, Anschutz was a reporter and anchor at KCMO-TV, later known as KCTV. He became an anchor in 1969, was kicked back to a reporter’s job when new management came in, then worked his way back behind the desk.

On July 16, 1979, he was paired with a new co-anchor, Anne Peterson, and the two quickly became a sensation, attracting 40 percent of the audience to their newscasts by year’s end. They went on to form one of the TV industry’s most durable on-air partnerships, finally ending when Anschutz opted for retirement in 2001.

In 1989, Anschutz suffered a stroke and, as part of his recovery, began oil painting. Eventually he sold his works to galleries. His most popular paintings featured enormous, tidal-wave-shaped clouds looming over the prairie.

Funeral arrangements are pending, according to a family member

I think Anne Peterson's 17 or 18 year old son just recently died from drunk driving.... I could be wrong. Very Sad though.

Lenny's been the local ABC affiliate's 6pm sports anchor since the early 1970s.
He still shows up on KMBC 9, but not as much as he used to.

Anyone remember when you could get horse racing tickets from the supermarket with your receipt, then they showed the races right after the news [I think]. If your horse won you got something from the supermarket.

I recognize most of those, but how could you leave Geri Gosa (sp?) off the list? Quite possibly one of the ugliest women ever to be paid to appear on television.


RIP, Wendall.

She was a cutie back in the day. I liked Maria Antonia more though. She was a real hottie when she first came on the scene. Kind of nasty now though.

Unfortunately, she too had a hard time recently as she lost her younger son in a car crash last March.
