My time on the Breeze was worth every second. I share Dwayne's
fond memories of untangling computer tape in that chilly "computer
room" and driving to Woodstock with the boards, dodging roadkill
along the way. Desktop publishing seems far too simple. Nowadays,
I'm living my dream: applying my journalism skills in a proprietary
message development model that clients love; working from home;
enjoying the outdoor bliss of the Pacific NW with my husband and
two boys, ages 8 and 10. Life is good. |

It's great to discover this website! My daughter, Kate, is a sophomore
at JMU (double major in international affairs and French), and I've
loved the opportunity to reconnect with Madison and Harrisonburg.
Kate absolutely loves JMU – why not, it's a great school and
a special place. I have tons of fond memories working at the Breeze
and Curio, and extend special thanks to Dr. Wendelken and Mr. Neckowitz
for a great education. Best wishes to all past colleagues for health
and happiness. |

It was so long ago that it seemed like another life when JMU gave
me the chance to explore print journalism and broadcasting and to
work at the Breeze, JMU, WVPT and WHSV. I decided to go to law school
when Sarah Strader left a reporting position at WHSV and I discovered
that I scored a zero in the area of equal opportunity employment
goals; and the rest is history. I also got my MS in telecomm from
Syracuse at the same time John Woody was there. After 25
years as an attorney representing broadcasters, cable companies,
programmers, local and long distance telephone companies, wireless
companies, site owners, fiber optic, satellite and other carriers,
including AT&T, DEC, ICG and MCI, I've limited my practice
to a small number of long-time clients and started a real estate
business, taking on only clients and projects that interest me
and fit with my schedule, and am enjoying a much more relaxed
schedule and lifestyle while doing the single-parenting thing
and making it a priority to be present for my kids. |

My work appeared in The Breeze during all four of my years at
Madison. (I voted against the name change to JMU. To this day, I
still think of the place as Madison College. Call me obstinate.)
After an in-print feud with one Breeze editor, my smiling visage
mysteriously vanished from the paper's group photo by the time the
shot appeared in the yearbook. Another editor rejected an anti-jock
editorial cartoon of mine that parodied a then-new movie called
"Star Wars," possibly because he could not appreciate
my masterpiece's trenchant, positively Shavian wit. On the bright
side, I once reviewed every Ian Fleming James Bond novel in a single
piece, for no especially good reason. Also, my in-depth Curio magazine
article on the ubiquity of porn in conservative Harrisonburg was
a genuine joy to research. |

I still fondly remember staffers at the paper and its advisers.
I still recall Neckowitz railing against headshots of women that
showed cleavage, while headshots of males did not. It's amazing
what sticks to the RAM in one's head. If anyone knows how to reach
Julie Summers in Frederick, MD., tell her I'm sorry. If anyone can
reach Kris Carlson of Salisbury, MD, the words, "I'm sorry"
won't do justice. Obviously, I've got issues. On the positive side,
I've met and maintained many friendships through JMU (all right,

When I started with The Breeze, it was in the former egg hatchery
known as Wampler, then moved up to the basement in Wine-Price. This
was the pre-computer era; we hired typists to type stories that
came out on ticker tape that we then fed into a machine the size
of a refrigerator. Often, it ate the tape and stories had to be
retyped, usually late at night by very unhappy people. Production
often didn't wrap up until sunrise, and some of us dubbed ourselves
"The Sunrise Club." Now, here in Roanoke, I produce our
daily webcast. Imagine! |

I didn't even know about this website until I saw Dave Wendelken
listed as a reference on a resume. Has it really been 30 years since
I last ventured to Elkton at 3 a.m. to deliver the Breeze "boards"?
Since Neckowitz wrote "Trite!" along the margins of my
copy? Since we played cutthroat wiffle ball games in the Breeze
office? Since Ron Carrier was "Papa Doc"? In contrast
to such memories, I was saddened to learn that Roger Wells had passed
away. Roger was the editor of The Breeze the year I served as managing
editor. Having just lost a close friend to liver cancer, I can only
begin to imagine what he endured. I'm still married, and more happily
than ever before, to Janice. We will celebrate our 30th wedding
anniversary this September. Our boys, 21 and 19, are searching for
answers that will come with time – I hope. I'm the vice president
of communications and marketing for a membership association in
Old Town Alexandria, but other activities, such as raising sons
and playing competitive baseball, sustain me. But enough of that.
To Breezers who graduated in 1975-77 – Cindy Carney, Greg
Byrne, Sandy Amann, Bobby and Jimmy Morgan, Jennifer Goins, Gary
Fullerton, Tom Dulan, Wade Starling and JoAnn Sullivan, to name
but a few: I hope you and your families are happy, healthy and content.

Hello from an oldtimer who remembers back in the day when we physically
laid out The Breeze on boards and then drove it to Elkton to be
printed. And we thought we were cutting edge back then ... We also
thought we were cool investigative reporters and politically astute
cynics because that was the day of Watergate and Hunter Thompson.
It was so much fun! There were about 3-4 of us couples who married
and some of us have kept in touch with each other and the Neckowitzs
all these years. Although Greg (Byrne--my hubby and fellow Breeze
troublemaker) and I have gone on to do other things, we remember
those days as some of the happiest of our lives. |
