Original post from Broad & Cecil.
Former CBS3 reporter Dick Standish is doing fine after fainting at his retirement party Wednesday.
Standish’s last day on the air was Wednesday at 4 p.m. Afterwards, after having a Coors Light at Finnigan’s Wake, he fainted for drinking on a light stomach, according to an article by Inquirer Daily News local news guru Dan Gross.
The above photo was taken by CBS3 reporter Jamie Smith, who visited Standish at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania on Thursday. The trooper that he is, Standish let Smith take a photo of him in his hospital gown.
Standish retired from CBS3 after more than 29 years at the station.
On a personal note, I worked closely with Standish while interning at CBS3 last summer, and I couldn’t have worked with a better person. He’s a good citizen, an excellent reporter and an overall great guy. He’ll be missed at CBS3.
Not to sound pretentious or like a know it all… but it says Dan Gross is a reporter for The Inquirer. As most already know, he writes for the Daily News. I am not sure if Dan would be offended by the mistake, but I used to intern for The Daily News and the two papers, though sisters, are kept seperate and compete with each other. So I just wanted to point that out to you for future reference. :)
Thanks…completely my fault. It’s been fixed! Thanks for letting me know!
