Ranger Peeps...
Mandy Derfler is gathering info from former Ranger kids for an interactive map celebrating The Ranger's 90th.
The topic is where they are now.
Please send me your name, current title and where you work, former Ranger title and when you were here, how The Ranger helped you succeed and a current mug shot, or an old ranger photo.

We need it by April 1.
Dr. Lo
Mutual understanding: We will not post any photo taken from Ranger assignment BEFORE it is published. When posting photos of Ranger assignments, we will put credit as such: Mary Jane/The Ranger in red right next to or under the photo.

Snowball fight and more
Finally, the newsroom was slow enough for me to search for some interesting photos of my own this afternoon. Here are some of the photos I took at the "Winter Fun Fest" at the mall area in front of Moody. I don't particularly like CYA overall shots although it is always good to have some when you cover assignments. I like photos of particular individual or group of individuals who interact with each other because these kind of photos always have a better focal point that attracts the viewers' eyes.
The last two cents for the semester.
