Founder of Roll Call, Now Hall of Famer

The Maryland-Delaware-DC Press Association has announced its 2009 Hall of Fame inductees, who include the founder of Roll Call, Sid Yudain.

From the release:

Sid Yudain loved to start newspapers. It began when he and his brother produced competing newspapers at home and continued in elementary school, in junior high, at the radio station where he worked, in his Army unit and even the hospital where he was a patient.

In 1955, while working as a congressional staffer, he started Roll Call with a budget of $90.
