That was my first TV job, photographer and running cameras for the newscasts while going to Texas A&M. I kept some old photos and newscast tapes from there, and was thinking of doing a little historical website about the station. Anyone here work there then? Here's some of the ones who were there--if you know their whereabouts, let me know:

Jeff Braun (now a motivational speaker)
Dave Polakowski
Mallous Kamryn
Jeff McShan (now with KHOU-TV Houston)
Ron Crozier
Jeff Brewer
Debbie Monroe
Ulman "Mac" McMullen (owns an ad agency in Bryan)
Wayne Kube (engineer, later with WFAA)
Jon Bennett
Van Williams
Mark Meadors
Peggy Clark-Holden
Steve Drillette
Kurt Lang
Mike Larkin
Jeff Jenkins
Joe Walker (now a pastor in Bryan)
Bill Wilson
Brian Blalock
Kelly Krauskopf
John White
Jannene Spates
Ricky Telg
 
Van Williams is in San Antonio, or at least he was as of last year. I want to say he has a production company there. I worked with him at KENS. However, he left KENS about three years after I did. But I believe he is still there. I will forward this list to two of my friends. One of them is a KBTX alum. The other is a Bryan native and might know these folks. He seems to keep a good ear to the ground.
 
Steve Drillette was one of my football/basketball coaches at Ralls High School in Ralls, TX. circa 1988. Would like to know where he is too. Guy had some funky eyelids.
 
I worked with Jon Bennett at KAMU - last I heard he was Chief Engineer there - but that was years ago...

I just checked their website, and he's now station manager and program director for KAMU-TV...
