| May 21, 2009 Billy Hanger Graduated: 1982 Suffolk, VA 23435 USA hangecwi@cps.k12.va.us Employer: Chesapeake Public Schools I was just reading SMAD about you and the picture on the back page took me back to the "Good old days". Those were my teachers who gave what I needed to work in TV. The only people who I can remember who were not in the picture were Dave Tucker who taught radio and Jim Miskimem who was advisor and taught broadcast management. Many thanks from some who learned broadcasting when we had reel to reel video tape and u-matic was a newer format. Good luck to the new graduates, it is a great field to work in. |
