| 54 | Larry | Kuipers | m | Prior to Burton beginning her career in broadcasting, she was on television on Romper Room, as a contestant on Star Search, and hosted an hour long cable TV show called Simply Elegant. Burton's broadcasting career began in 1989 at WGN-TV in Chicago where she co-anchored "MBR: The Minority Business Report", a nationally syndicated weekly series. In 1990, she moved to Peoria, Illinois where she worked as a reporter at WMBD-TV. From 1990 to 1992, she was an anchor at KWCH-DT in Wichita, Kansas. Burton joined WLS-TV in 1992 as weekend co-anchor/reporter. In 2003, she was promoted to 5 p.m. weekday co-anchor and 10 p.m. contributing anchor with Ron Magers and Kathy Brock. In addition to being on television, Burton was a cheerleader. She was part of the Chicago Honey Bears cheerleading squad for the Chicago Bears for three seasons from 1983-1986. On June 12, 2018, WLS-TV announced that Burton will replace retiring anchor Kathy Brock as the 10pm anchor alongside Alan Krashesky. Burton will continue anchoring the 5pm show and 7pm show on WCIU-TV. | From 1986 until 1995, Burton was married to ABC 7 sports reporter Jim Rose. Rose, who had been dating Burton when she was a Chicago Bears cheerleader, surprised her with a diamond engagement ring on the Friday night before Super Bowl XX in New Orleans. Rose popped the question aboard the President riverboat, scene of a pep rally party for the Bears. Burton, who had finished a dance number with the Honey Bears, was sitting with Rose under the moonlight when he reached into his pocket for the ring. Rose, quite the romantic, had timed the proposal to come a year after the couple's first date. That, coincidentally, happened to be at a Super Bowl XIX party in Chicago. On April 23, 2008, Burton, along with 4 others (5 separate attacks), was injured after a man punched them in the head or face. 28-year-old Gregory Perdue went on a fist-throwing rampage down a sidewalk in downtown Chicago. Burton was hit while on her dinner break. She was walking near Washington St. and State Street when she was hit in the head by what she thought was a bullet. She was however, hit by a punch in the head from Perdue which knocked her to the ground. An X-Ray and CAT Scan revealed no severe damage, but she said she suffered from headaches for months following the attack. At the trial, Perdue's attorney said Perdue was schizophrenic. Perdue was found not guilty on five counts of aggravated battery. The judge instead remanded Perdue to the state Department of Mental Health until April 2015. | prior to kuipers beginning his career in broadcasting, he was on television on romper room, as a contestant on star search, and hosted an hour long cable tv show called simply elegant. kuipers's broadcasting career began in 1989 at wgn-tv in chicago where he co-anchored "mbr: the minority business report", a nationally syndicated weekly series. in 1990, he moved to peoria, illinois where he worked as a reporter at wmbd-tv. from 1990 to 1992, he was an anchor at kwch-dt in wichita, kansas. kuipers joined wls-tv in 1992 as weekend co-anchor/reporter. in 2003, he was promoted to 5 p.m. weekday co-anchor and 10 p.m. contributing anchor with ron magers and kathy brock. in addition to being on television, kuipers was a cheerleader. he was part of the chicago honey bears cheerleading squad for the chicago bears for three seasons from 1983-1986. on june 12, 2018, wls-tv announced that kuipers will replace retiring anchor kathy brock as the 10pm anchor alongside alan krashesky. kuipers will continue anchoring the 5pm show and 7pm show on wciu-tv.from 1986 until 1995, kuipers was married to abc 7 sports reporter jim rose. rose, who had been dating kuipers when he was a chicago bears cheerleader, surprised his with a diamond engagement ring on the friday night before super bowl xx in new orleans. rose popped the question aboard the president riverboat, scene of a pep rally party for the bears. kuipers, who had finished a dance number with the honey bears, was sitting with rose under the moonlight when he reached into his pocket for the ring. rose, quite the romantic, had timed the proposal to come a year after the couple's first date. that, coincidentally, happened to be at a super bowl xix party in chicago. on april 23, 2008, kuipers, along with 4 others (5 separate attacks), was injured after a man punched them in the head or face. 28-year-old gregory perdue went on a fist-throwing rampage down a sidewalk in downtown chicago. kuipers was hit while on his dinner break. he was walking near washington st. and state street when he was hit in the head by what he thought was a bullet. he was however, hit by a punch in the head from perdue which knocked his to the ground. an x-ray and cat scan revealed no severe damage, but he said he suffered from headaches for months following the attack. at the trial, perdue's attorney said perdue was schizophrenic. perdue was found not guilty on five counts of aggravated battery. the judge instead remanded perdue to the state department of mental health until april 2015. | Cheryl | Burton | dancers |
