Leonade Stand Kick's Off With CBS News Anchor

Larry Mendte, a "hometown guy" whose first job in the news business was delivering the Evening Bulletin as a boy, takes special pleasure in the fact that, as an adult, he is still delivering the evening news in Philadelphia.

One of Philadelphia's most honored broadcasters, Mendte has earned 43 regional Emmy Awards since returning to the Delaware Valley, a record four of them in the "Best Anchor" category. In two recent readers' polls conducted by The Main Line Times and the Delaware County Daily Times, Mendte was voted the area's favorite news anchor. Among his honors, Mendte has been inducted into The Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia's Hall of Fame and was named one of the 75 Greatest Living Philadelphians
by the Philadelphia Daily News.
