Barry University in Miami is honoring Dwight Lauderdale with a scholarship in his name. The Dwight Lauderdale Scholarship will be given to broadcast communications students each semester.
Ann Bishop, another famous WPLG anchor who worked by side with Dwight Lauderdale, has a scholarship in her name at Barry University as well.
Connie Hicks, former WPLG reporter now teaching broadcast news at Barry University, recently received 3 big boxes at her office full of memorabilia that belonged to legendary WPLG anchor Ann Bishop. The boxes came after Bishiop’s long time companion Helen Buckner, former reporter at Sun-Reporter in Miami Beach, died on October 28 in Texas.
Some of the memorabilia included Bishop’s trademark brown-and-white size 7M saddle shoes. Also dozens of photographs of Ann Bishop with famous people and media types including Pope John Paul II, Charles Gibson, Don Shula, Joan Lunden, Jimmy Cefalo and her former colleague and co-anchor Dwight Lauderdale with moustaches.
The University also received some memorabilia – framed letters from viewers
