Many Siouxlanders recall the time when Greg Lund was the popular KCAU-TV evening anchor. Lund’s two-decade Channel 9 stint ended when he left in 1997 to work for Gateway computers, where he eventually became senior manager of corporate communications.

Lund’s son Andrew Lund is pushing Republican Party ideals, although he’s doing it in a much warmer climate out in San Diego. For more than a year, Lund has led the San Diego Young Republicans group, which is made up of professionals who back Republican candidates through fundraising and other efforts. Of course, since it’s in San Diego, one of the SDYR activities includes a beach party.

Lund, who has a likeness to his father, also has a gig on a San Diego NBC station, where he does a point/counterpoint thing with a young Democrat on politics. A recent piece included whether Sarah Palin should be supported in a 2012 presidential bid. (Thanks to Sioux Cityan Suzan Stewart for this tip.)
