Tonight, my Photojournalism II class photographed the Red Cross “Salute To Heroes” event at the Carolina Theater in Greensboro, North Carolina. As I and my fellow classmates were photographing, one of the speakers; Rich Brenner (former Fox8 member) went into a reported “coughing fit”. After the event ended, an ambulance rushed Brenner to Moses Cone. I learned after returning home, that Brenner had suffered a heart attach and died. Brenner, who spoke on behalf of The War Memorial Foundation as the foundations’ Communication Director, attended the Red Cross event to honor the “Heroes” of our community. It is a terribly tragic event, and my prayers go out to his family.
Thanks for capturing a picture of Rich Brenner last night, this again just goes to show how important pictures are.
Anna, I am just now getting around to the long list of thank you’s, posts, and articles on Rich. Thank you so very much for posting this picture and for your kind words. We will cherish this picture of him since it is his last. Thank you agan.
