Sad to report longtime independent correspondent Connie Lawn died Monday morning at her home in Fallas Church, VA, after a long battle with Parkinson's Disease. She was 73. Lawn served as White House correspondent at the USA Radio Network in the 1990's, and more recently covered the White House for Salem Radio Network's SRN News on weekends and while its White House correspondent Greg Clugston was traveling with the President.

She also reported independently for radio networks on New Zealand, Canada, Australia and South Africa. At the time of her death, she held the title as longest-credentialed member of the White House press corps, having served for 50 years.

Salem Radio Network VP/News & Talk Programming Tom Tradup told his staff, "All of us at SRN News and Townhall News send our condolences to Connie's husband Dr. Charles Sneiderman and to her many friends and colleagues throughout the radio news industry. She was one on a million."
