Russert Remembered

Politicians and common people from Western New York were among those paying their respects yesterday to Tim Russert. Among those attending his wake at St. Alban's School in Washington were Congresswoman Louise Slaughter, Erie County Clerk Kathy Hochul, who once worked for Russert, and Congressman Brian Higgins. This morning, Holy Trinity Church in Washington hosted a private funeral service for Tim Russert. Ave Maria was sung inside the sanctuary as Russert's coffin arrived. An invitation-only memorial is being held at four this afternoon at the Kennedy Center in DC. We'll have a live special report later today.
