There were some pretty acclaimed UR journalists during my first tenure. Dave Howard died early after making a mark at the Richmond newspapers. Cindy Creasy, another, just died after many years at the RTD, Oregonbeav, Mark Ovendon is in N Dakota in tv, Wanda Starke in Charlotte on tv, ( there was a utube video of her being a proud Spider.). Our profs? Uncle Earle, Ed Swain and Charles Fishburne come to mind. One of those little majors at a great school.

I think Rick Stine (78 or 79) went on to work for the Wall Street Journal or one of those national papers.
Thanks for the props but calling me an "acclaimed journalist" is a real stretch. Pencil-necked geek, yes.
So sad about Cindy. A good friend at UR, and a great journalist for the RTD.

possibly, but two pulitzers probably top an emmy for reading someone else's typing. both great guys and proud of all our SPIDS whether they win anything or not.
