I am a media and public relations professional with a career dating back to 1989. Starting as a jazz DJ, then cutting tape and pointing fingers (in a non-accusatory, rather more of a “cue-speak now!” manner) at public radio’s best, I embarked on a technology public relations career just in time to ride the Internet bubble.Now engaged whole-heartedly in social media, I have been plying the PR trade, as well as blogging and podcasting, with Topaz Partners since 2005. While also engaged in local blogging and Second Life, I am trying to maintain Gischeleman’s blog to catch all the other thoughts I feel like throwing out there. Enjoy, complain, comment, criticize– if you’re reading this page then you are reading my blog– so thanks!

Hey Ron,
Yes it was Jennifer Staton. I don’t know her as well as I do Amelia, though I recall meeting her a few times.

Far out. Does Jennifer still sing that you know of? Thanks for your response-Ron

I don’t know– I’ll post if I find out.

Got any old pics of you cutting tape?
I know the feeling, but I have to say I did love it, especially splicing it back again.
