Oregon Media Insiders

Hey, Rebecca!

I don't know if you will remember me, but I was the first college intern (from Lewis & Clark) for "Live at Noon" in 1981. Unforgettable was the first day on the air, March 30th: Pres. Reagan had been shot and we were pre-empted the entire hour... Highlights of my internship were meeting guests like Edith Head and Robert Hays and most of all my favourite activity was going out on shoots with you. ("Hi, Eric!"...Schmidt...I'm married to an Eric)!

Combined with another internship with KGW Radio News (still the Craig Walker days), I realized that I did NOT want to pursue radio/TV as a profession. I didn't want to be fired at the whim of management/owner changes nor did I want to move from city to city working my way up.

I'm now a happy owner of my own business. I know I've "made it" since my dad (in his 80's) has quit asking me when I'm going to get a "real" job!

It sounds like you've landed soundly on your feet and will continue to do well. I'd love to say "hi" to your more directly (email, phone, etc).

Best of Everything!
