bpatrick:

Bryson Rash was apparently a long time TV-Radio Newsman in Washington..He later did news segments on the WRC Radio "Joy Boys" program. Don't know about Rendell..

Link to Joy Boys History page mentioning Rendell

I'd heard of Bryson Rash; I think he even
worked in network radio. It was Rendell
who wasn't familiar to me. Sorry for the
confusion.
