THE ANSWERS:

1. Sadie Hughes and her husband Jason at the end of their outside wedding ceremony in Broomfield. Sadie recently left her anchor/reporter job in Saint George, Utah. She has some job possibilities closer to home.

2. Tara Kish, now working at Martini on the Rocks radio, here in class on a rare occasion she was sitting long enough for me to sketch her.

3. Mindy MacInnes left, and Melany Fehrenbach right. They are standing in front of ABC offices in New York where Mindy has just been named Operations Manager for all Hard News at ABC. Melany, producing radio and TV commercials for Crispin, Porter and Boguski, was in New York at the time and they DID LUNCH. NOW THAT is MetNetting.

4. Melissa Garcia, anchor and reporter in Abilene, Texas. We had a "random get together" before she headed south. Just saw a piece she did on gas prices...fantastic job.

5. Tamisha Harris with OLDER MAN. Tamisha is currently dancing, teaching dance, and "making a buck or two" modeling until she can fully spread her wings. And when she does spread her wings? SHE WILL FLY.

6. Andy Buck, photographer and editor at KUSA. His work is quickly getting recognized in award circles. We've known all along he is a great story teller with that camera.

7. Steve Piesmann, program coordinator for Comcast TV. We were sharing some high trans fat chips in front of this health food store, here...just practicing recognition of irony.

8. John Romero, anchor and reporter at KCWY in Casper, Wyoming. I think "Juan Tan Romero" is losing his tan up there in snow and wind country. John loves news and it shows. Watch him anchor on line on the weekends, report during the week.

9. Walter Allen, Wyoming anchor of the year in 2007 at KCWY in Casper, Wyoming. He is talking to one of the intro classes. Students love his wit and wisdom. I'm pretty sure the redhead in this picture was looking beyond both those traits.

10. Amy Ferguson and Rosie Stringer, 2007 co-anchors at the MetReport. Here they are celebrating the completion of a show. They've both just graduated. Rosie is getting hitched this summer. Amy is putting the finishing touches on her resi-tape.

11. Geoff Sawtell, editor and director at KUSA. Those are two professions he mastered at the MetReport. Thankfully he stuck around campus a few years to keep the show honest and award winning.  We've finally let him out of jail.

12. Elisa Vasquez, former editor at KUSA. She was a reporter, anchor and pretty much everything at the Met Report.  She started doing talent work in her pre teens...and now after sampling one end of the business, she is off to Albuquerque to pursue that acting dream.

13. Tom Livingston tossing down some H20 in front of that health food store. Tom, the FATHER of the MetReport, started his professional career in Casper, Wyoming. Then he took some time off to be "stay at home dad." Now he is BACK running the Northern Colorado bureau for KGWN in Cheyenne.

14. Paula Vargas, assignment editor at KMGH. I snapped this shot on one of our bi-annual mutual therapy sessions. Anyone who has ever tried to make a living at an assignment desk knows what I'm talking about. If you've yet to hear Paula Laugh? Your life is incomplete.

15. This is Heather Burke, anchor/reporter at KBIM in Roswell, New Mexico. She reports regularly for the parent station, KQRE, in Albuquerque. Here she is heeding my standup advice, that the term standup is an oxymoron. I don't even want to picture what would have happened had she just stood there. Heather, in less than a year, has won just about every award the Associated Press hands out in New Mexico. You can generally see her work streamed or packaged on line at both stations.

16. This is the lovely Stephenie Davis in one of her new roles in life, modeling. She is also going to nursing school in Portland, Oregon.  She was inspired by the nurses who saved her life when she contracted Crohn's disease.

Well this is just a start. Don't feel slighted if you're not here yet. If you've been within ten feet of me while I was sporting my camera, you're in trouble. Thanks for bein' you!
