I was a writer at the Emerald from 1974 to 1979 and also did work-studyjobs in classified ads and the library. I was one of the co-conspiratorsbehind the Daily Immorald and Flying Rutabaga parodies. Other memories includevisiting the old Allen Hall off ice as a high school senior to talk to DrexHeikes and marvel at the wire (UPI?) machine. I too had the distinct pleasureof working with Randy Shilts, Jim Gregory and a lot of other assorted greats,near-greats and thought-they-were greats. Hope you all are well! Whateverhappened to Nick Gallo? Anybody ever hear from him?I recently completeda stint as an associate editor at Oregon Business magazine in Portland.I’m now out in the wilds of freelancing (again). Before Oregon Business,I was editor for si x years of Visions, a national-award winning scienceand technology magazine published by the Oregon Graduate Institute. Alongthe way I have also worked for various weekly newspapers the old OregonJournal and in PR and publications for non-profits such as OMSI and areacolleges.

I worked for the ODE 74-76, including a year on the night desk (with GrahamKislingbury), but mostly as a reporter. I covered student government myfinal year, when Jan Oliver, a black single mom with three kids, beat afrat-backed candidate to win the ASUO presidency. Some of the other namesthat come to mind from those days are Paul Waldschmidt, Randy Shilts, JimGregory, Drex Heikes, Patty Farrell, Jerrill Nilson, Rick Bella, JackmanWilson, Dennis Pfaff, Brenda Tabor, Brad Lemley, Wally Benson, Greg Wasson,Jennifer Blumberg and Lois Lindsey. I was editor of three weeklies and adaily in Oregon before coming to Nebraska in 1990. I’m editor of theStar-Herald in Scottsbluff.

Mike Grady. Worked on the Emerald in 1977 and ’78 as a sports writer.Graduated in 1978.
After 16 post-graduate years of writing and editing sports in a slow-dyingindustry (newspapers), I’m suddenly hurtling through cyberspace. Am NewsEditor of the new and near-out-of-control growing ESPNET SportsZone on-lineservice, currently available via Internet (http://www.espnet.SportsZone.com)and Microsoft Network. Hectic but heaven. We work with a lot smart, hipSportsCenter types, and we don’t have to call Bristol, Conn., home. We’rea Paul Allen company located in Bellevue, Wash. Yes, ther e are openings.

I was an associate editor at the ODE from 1977 to 1979. I handled thecommunity and political beats, spending most my time sticking pins in thebloated egos of state and regional political candidates.
Today, I’m editor of the Daily Journal of Commerce in Portland. The dailybusiness newspaper is much like the old ODE. I spend a lot of my time workingwith reporters and looking for juicy news stories. My poor staff must enduremy silliness and bouts of loud singing that often subjects them to hoursof Dylan, Van Morrison and the occasional Broadway show tune. My only questionis: Whatever happened to Anne Trenneman? I miss her.

I was a reporter for two years and associate editor of faculty/administrationmy senior year, 1974.
I’m editor and part owner of Business@Home magazine in Portland.

Movedto Washington D.C. in 1980, met a nice lady from Maine, we married and nowlive in her hometown of Topsham. I also write two days a week for “TheTightwad Gazette,” a newsletter devoted to the art and science of frugalliving. I’d love to hear from any old Eremites… sometimes Oregon seemslike a dream…

I practice law in Portland with the law firm of Bullivant, Houser, Bailey.I emphasize appellate law, so I am still doing plenty of writing.

1970-74. I served as an associate editor, reviewed theatre at the U ofO and at Ashland, and served as editor of the “World News and SportsSupplement” that appeared each Monday. In those days, the weekday editionsof the Register-Guard were still publ ished as an afternoon paper, so theODE’s WN&SS scooped the R-G on the breakout of the 1972 war between Egyptand Israel. I have a lot of great memories of the people at the ODE, includingTorrie McCallister, Clay Eals, Olga Broumas, and many others.
I lead research projects involving human-machine interaction for theaerospace industry as senior scientist and director of research at the EuropeanInstitute of Cognitive Sciences and Engineering (EURISCO).

1973-75. I worked as a reporter on various beats.
After stints on the Chicago Tribune, Rocky Mountain News and more smalltown papers than I care to remember, I went into politics, working for ColoradoGov. Roy Romer. For the past five years, I’ve owned a public affairs mediarelations firm in Denver, ca lled InterMountain Partners Inc. Our most recenthigh-profile project was managing press/communications for Tom Strickland,the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate. I live in Highlands Ranch, Colo.,with Lauren and her three sons, and play pool on a regular basis with myson Mike, 19, who got hooked on politics while working on the Stricklandcampaign.

I won’t be nearly as vague as Boekelheide (sp?); worked at the ODE in1978-79 as environment editor. Also cranked through the copy on the nightdesk once (I think) each week. There weren’t any computers there then, justthat bizarre Compugraphic tape st uff and some manual typewriters. That’show long ago it was, but I will always remember it fondly, as one does anythingthat was hard, grueling, somewhat rewarding and in the past. The pay wasvery low and we didn’t get any academic credit. Is that sti ll the case?I always conjectured the J School profs were irritated that they didn’tcontrol the paper.
I am toiling the sweat shops of state government, trying to open up thesystem to the prying yet deserving eye of the media and public. Before thatI worked for some dozen years reporting and editing for newspapers, radiostations and magazines.

One of my most treasured photos is the end of year staff debauche at the Vida Barn, about l978. I was at the ODE from ’75-’79. My good firend Carl Bryant hired me on in sales and eventually I played a role as local sales manager and board member. I never helped poor paper clips on Iranian students who insisted on chanting,”Down With the Shah!” for several hours on end. I did find at the ODE much more then a college job. Like most of us, it was home for me too.
I’m married. Denise & I have traveled a bit. After time in newspaper, radio and ad agencies, I’ve found a home in television. Sadly, I’m as far from Oregon as I can get in the US. But I enjoy being an AE for WTVJ-TV6, the NBC O&O in Miami.

I was there fall 1971 through spring 1973. Worked as a reporter and thennight editor one or two days a week, plus night editor during summer of1972.
I’m features editor at The Modesto Bee in California, where I’ve beenfor almost 23 years. Have had a variety of jobs here (including 7 yearspart time while I helped two boys get a start on life. They’re now 13 and11.) Am moving back to position as Metro Editor in a couple of weeks.

Full-time Emerald staffer 1968 to 1973. Was twice editorial page editor,news editor, sports editor and other various positions. Was member of staffduring transition to independence.
Editor, Colorado Springs Gazette Telegraph

A former high school journalist and staff person from Texas, I was anODE production staffer from 1970-72 and ODE Director in 1972-73 (if Iremember dates correctly). I also contributed an occasional guestopinion column. During those years the Emerald was one of the firstcampus papers to use computerized typesetting, however we did”paste-ups” manually. I remember our production crew fondly, as well asthe exciting times the whole paper was a part of … many late nightswith fast-breaking headlines from campus protests. Ron Eachus andGrattan Kerans were memorable editors and campus leaders. Working onthe Emerald helped put me through my first two years of school, though20 hrs./wk. & late nights did nothing for my 8 am classes. Overall, avaluable experience & a key part of my career as an undergraduate. I’mnow Asst. Professor of Sociology at WSU.
