Yesterday, I pointed folks to the Russ Martin Show Listeners Foundation, if they cared to contribute. The foundation gives money to the families of police officers killed in the line of duty. As you know, Arlington motorcycle officer Craig Story died Wednesday in a crash. Martin e-mails to say:
Today I’ll be driving to Arlington to drop off a check on behalf of my listeners/supporters for $35,000 for Danielle Story. Ain’t meeting the chief, family, nobody — just dropping off an envelope at the front desk. I don’t like meeting people.
Good on Russ Martin and the folks who gave the money. Our thoughts are with the Storys.

Russ, despite the unsightly radio personality, is a soft-hearted caring person — works for people and for animals. He deserves to be honored as a person who makes a difference in a good way.
Good Job!
I wish all of those radio/media types did this!

With no disrespect to Russ, one of the most missed stories in Dallas is the amount of money that The Ticket (1310 AM) donates to various charities. One of their hosts has raised over $1 Million over the last 9 years for the Austin Street shelter and the other 3 shows do their share as well. So, eventhough they may be few and far between,there are radio personalities fighting the good fight.
Thanks for still caring Russ. We miss you
