     HONORING TERRY McFADDEN'S CAREER IN BROADCAST JOURNALISM AND 
               CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SOUTH BEND COMMUNITY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. RUDY YAKYM III

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 13, 2024

  Mr. YAKYM. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize and congratulate 
award-winning television journalist Terry McFadden, who is retiring 
from WNDU-TV this month after more than 40 years of covering news in 
the South Bend market.
  A fellow South Bend native and Notre Dame graduate, Terry has called 
St. Joe County home his entire life. To this day, Terry still lives on 
the same street he grew up on. It is undoubtedly this love for the 
South Bend community that has made Terry such a trusted name in local 
news over all these years.
  Terry made his start in broadcasting in 1982 as a news and sports 
reporter with WNDU. In the time since, Terry has become one of South 
Bend's favorite television journalists, and he has epitomized the 
highest standards of professional and journalistic integrity.
  The various broadcast journalism awards and accolades he has received 
over the years--including the Radio Television Digital News 
Association's prestigious Edward R. Murrow Award--are a testament to 
Terry's many career accomplishments, commitment to the community, and 
his passion for his profession and presenting the news in a compelling 
way.
  As he prepares to retire from journalism, spend more time with his 
family--especially his wife Laurie and their sons Michael, Sean, and 
Charlie--and write the next chapter of his life, I am proud to 
congratulate Terry on more than four decades of dedicated service and 
excellence in journalism.
  While I will miss him bringing us the news every day, I join so many 
others in expressing our gratitude to this lifelong Hoosier and in 
wishing Terry best wishes for a very happy and full retirement. I thank 
Terry.
