Plain Dealer and former Akron Beacon Journal sportswriter Terry Pluto is the recipient of the first annual Chuck Heaton award.
The award, presented by the Heaton family, was given at the Press Club of Cleveland's Journalism Hall of Fame inductions ceremonies Thursday night, November 13, at the LaCentre banquet and meeting facility in Westlake.
The Press Club presented the Heaton Award, named in honor of the legendary and beloved Plain Dealer sportswriter who died earlier this year. Press Club President Ed Byers said the award will be presented annually to the print, radio or television journalist who best exemplifies the sensitivity and humility which, along with his writing talents, were traits exhibited by Heaton.

There also is a Picasa web photo album with a couple of photos of the Plutos, several of Stuart Warner, a couple of TV talker Dick Feagker who once wrote a column for the BJ and some of Cleveland TV guys including Danny Couglin. The link says captions are coming soon (from Nov. 13?)
