I spotted this today in my normal swing through the TV trade press. Since
my wife is a CNN junky, my guess is that I'll be seeing a lot of Keith in
the coming months.
I've enjoyed receiving holiday greetings via the web, and wanted to return
the greetings to you all. Things are good in Tennessee, although I've had a
tough time with my father's health this fall. He came to visit in
mid-September and promptly got ill and was in the hospital for 7 weeks. He
just finally returned home from a rehab facility yesterday.
For myself, I'm taking what I am terming my "mid-life crisis" trip
in
February to Lithuania. A friend from grad school is getting married there,
so it's too good an opportunity for a trip to part of the world that I would
otherwise have no reason to visit. My 8 year-old daughter asked me if it
was "tropical," since she presumed that I'm smart enough to go somewhere
warm in February. When I explained to her that it's in the Baltics and part
of the former Soviet Union, and no, it's not tropical, I think it added to
her confusion.
I also got a nice holiday card from Mrs. Lieneck, who is still happily
living in Worthington, MA. Her son, Curt, who was a few years ahead of us
had a bout of cancer but is now doing fine. If you'd like her address, let
me know. I know she would love to hear from former students.
In any case, here's the clip about Keith and the best to you all for the New
Year.

Keith Olbermann Rebounds Back To CNN's Court
By Lisa de Moraes
Friday, January 11, 2002; Page C01
PASADENA, Calif., Jan. 10
The job-hoppingest man in television, Keith Olbermann, has come full circle
and rejoined CNN, this time as a contributor to its flagship evening
program, "NewsNight With Aaron Brown." He will provide essays on this
and
that throughout the week for "NewsNight."
"It's wonderful to be home," said Olbermann, who, if he keeps up this
pace,
soon will be able to use that statement no matter where he goes next.
In 22 years as a professional broadcaster, Olbermann has had 10 employers,
his longest gig being 5 1/2 years at ESPN.
Olbermann first joined CNN in 1981 as a freelance sports reporter, becoming
the network's national sports correspondent at age 23. In addition to his
daily reporting duties in 1983 and 1984, he anchored a sports report during
CNN's late-afternoon newscast. Next came local sportscasting gigs in Boston
and Los Angeles, after which Olbermann joined ESPN in 1992 for a
careermaking stint as host of "SportsCenter." But when he walked out
at the
end of his contract in 1997, an ESPN official was quoted as saying, "He
didn't burn the bridges here, he napalmed them."
Olbermann switched from sports to news, joining MSNBC as host of his own
prime-time current affairs program, "The Big Show." That went sour
fast when
MSNBC brass told him to ride the Monica Lewinsky story hard. Olbermann then
delivered an infamous 1998 speech to graduates of his alma mater, Cornell
University, in which he complained that his network was devoting 28 hours a
day to the Lewinsky story while he was having "dry heaves" in the
bathroom
"because my moral sensor is going off."
Three weeks later his contract was sold to Fox for $1 million. Olbermann
signed a three-year, $8 million deal with Fox under which he was to get his
own nightly sports-news show.
Only that didn't work out either. His Fox show -- never a ratings challenge
to his old "SportsCenter" -- became a once-weekly show, and last May
Fox
agreed to pay him $1 million to go away.
"We are thrilled to have Keith at CNN," CNN/U.S. Executive Vice President
Sid Bedingfield said today. "He has a wealth of expertise and is an
excellent storyteller, which made him an obvious choice for 'NewsNight.' "

Ah, the exciting, glamerous world of television! lol Hey, it's nice to hear
from you, glad to hear you are enjoying your life in Tennessee.
That trip to Lithuania--actually your description of it--was priceless,
Steve! Undoubtedly, from now on when you bring up the subject of family
vacations your daughter is going to start crying! lol
And it reminded me again of a commercial we cut at a radio station here in
Michigan about 13 years ago...in which one of the people complained about
"Lithuanian banjo music." You'd have to be there...but the phrase
has become
a staple of mine in my classes. I just used it Friday in revealing to my
students that finally they are allowed to use Portable Listening Devices (as
our administration calls them) in class, on a teacher's approval. I'm all
for that--research is very clear that sound for some students is VERY
beneficial (I know it would have helped me enormously in school to have been
able to listen to music or nature sounds while I was supposed to be doing
seatwork...rather than let my mind wander and end up making classic but
disruptive puns)...And I told them that, for students who prefer music, the
music must be instrumental, rather than with lyrics. Asked to provide an
example, I suggested, "You know. Classical, jazz, Lithuanian banjo music..."
(Jeff Feinstein would understand this, and anyone else of you who is a
teacher: Sometimes you have to entertain yourself to make it through a scho
ol day.) None of them got it, but it made me smile.
So, Steve, if you find any Lithuanian banjo music (or a reasonable
facsimile), pick up a CD, I'll reimburse you twofold! lol
And I'd love Ms. Lieneck's address...I can tell her what an influence she has
been on me as a teacher. Anyone remember her saying about driving across
country, "Miles and miles of miles and miles"? I think she was talking
about
Michigan! lol I tell my students that now and then. THAT they get. You
have to drive an hour between cities in this state. You go up north you
drive 2 hours between "cities"--large towns.
Take care, have a safe trip.
Regards
Greg

Subject: An Ironic Internet Story...
An RSVP came in for the "Time Machine" screening from a "Sharon Fisher."
I was excited and happy to receive the RSVP, but from who? We all knew
Sharons, but "Sharon Fisher?" I wondered if it was either a married
name or
someone who came across our class site and wanted to see if she could get a
free pass to the movie.
I checked with David Virrill, our unofficial class historian, and over three
emails he said:
"Could she be from another HHS class? There was a Diane Fisher in 76;
maybe
she's a younger relation. Or was that Fischer? There was a Bennett Fisher
in 74, but I don't recall him having a sister... I remember a Sharon who
left after 7th grade or so, a tallish brunette with a short bob style and 2
younger brothers-kind of pretty. But I thought her name was Fogarty.
Ask her if she graduated; if so, it could be a married name (for Mitchell)?...
the yearbook photo gallery shows a Stephen Fisher as not photographed;
I don't remember him. Perhaps Sharon is a sister..."
I had contemplated sending an email out to everyone on this list asking
whether they knew a Sharon Fisher, but after all Dave wrote, I felt
confident enough to confront this person right away. So I wrote Sharon and
asked what her maiden name was and what year she graduated from our school.
Here is what she wrote in return:
Hi,
Fisher is my family name and I'm not married. I also never
went to the Hastings school. I was looking at websites on
The Time Machine movie and your site was listed. I saw
the link for the screening and submitted my info Before
realizing that the offer was only for "friends" and "family."
Unfortunately ;-)) I happen to be neither! LOL ;-))
Anyway, you can simply disregard my name and info.
My friends and I are making a night of it when it opens in the
theatres.
Thanks, Sharon Fisher
I would have put her on the guest list, but I need to save room for actual
classmates and family. Still, one has to marvel over both the Internet (and
Dave's memory). Search engines index every single page on the Internet; when
someone looks up a phrase that happens to be on your webpage, they are
offered a link so they can visit. In this respect, the Internet is nothing but
a
public bulletin board. Anyone can happen by and react to what is posted.
On the positive side, "missing children," or classmates for whom
we do not
have accurate (or any) contact information have found us in much the same
manner. They look up "hastings" or "hastings-on-hudson"
or whatever, and are
offered a link to our site.
Well, hope to see some of you at the screening. Everyone else, please email.
Alan

thanks for the nice words. I thought of: (i) the sister of Bennett Fisher
was Robin Fisher, class of 77 or 78; (ii) a missing child, Sofia
Vinogradov, who was with us sophomore year, long blonde hair, wispy build,
glasses, very bright. Last name might have been Winogradov. d
