Mary Shore was a young, talented reporter at KTVB. She could sniff out a story and a tough interviewer. She loved spot news and chased stories with passion and cool efficiency. She always delivered under deadline on the difficult night shift without complaint.
In September of 87 I was dispatched to Hailey to cover an explosion and fire in Hailey but assignment editor Lindsay Nothern couldn't find photographer Charlie Ehlert. Mary didn't hesitate and flew out on the story just after 4:30. At 8:00 pm on the way back Photographer Dan Sullivan loaded his gear on the Cesna 210 piloted by Lynn Hoppe. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff and Mary, Lynn, and Photographer Dan Sullivan were killed. In the minds of the Photogs and Reporters of KTVB, Dan, Mary and Lynn are still out on the story and will be forever.

I remember that Dan needed my camera gear and news rig that day. As he climbed into the car he turned and looked at me and then paused and said with a wave of his hand "I'll tell ya later". We lost Dan and Mary a few hours later but they have always been with me in spirit. I still miss them both.
Dan is being added to the Newseum Journalists Memorial in rededication ceremony of May, 2011. Would someone please contact me so I could provide more info?

I am Pat Sullivan and Dan Sullivan is my brother. I would like to know more about the Journalists Memorial. I don't know what informaiton you are looking for, but perhaps I can help.
This bit of news has really made my day, what a fitting honor for Dan and Mary. Ive been to the Newseum, it honors not only the institution of news but all that have met a deadline.
