Greetings to all WRTI'ers. My wife of 33 years and
former 'RTIer, Mary Ellen (Redmile)
Cooper, and I are
now living in the mountains of central Pennsylvania
(Centre County),
a few miles north of Penn State.
We left the Philadelphia area behind five years ago
for
life in the woods (an old farm). For those who
remember me, yes, I still enjoy country music,
which I
hosted on 'RTI-FM during '63 and '64 school year. I
served as FM station
manager in my senior year and
graduated 2/64 with a BS in Business, major in
Radio-TV.
I worked for WPHL-TV 17 one year(their first), moved on
to the Philadelphia
Zoo as PR Director for 12 years,
and did weekly "What's New At The Zoo" reports for
KWY
News Radio during the '70s; swithced to a PR agency as
vp/account supervisor,
worked as director of marketing
communications with a Bell Atlantic computer
maintenance company (a former client); moved back to
PR agency side, then cashed in
my chips and moved
to Central PA, where I'm Director of Corporate
Communication for
a growing, national bottler of spring
water. So, there's a 34-year update in a nut shell.
Drop me an email.
