Melissa's Story

Life It's a small world, really... I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, but my connections to Katella remain. I've been to Mary Kate Cameron's wedding (Froeberg) and she's been to mine (Jeani Ray was there, too!). Basil Adams brokered the purchase of the diamond for my wedding set and refered us to the jewelry designer who created the rings for my husband and myself. I've lived here since I left Anaheim. In January 1971, I finished my last Katella class on a Friday and started at San Francisco State U. on Monday! I graduated with a degree in Broadcast Communication Arts and was hired at a small radio station in Concord, CA. In 3-1/2 years I worked my way up to Operations Manager and Midday Personality and was hired away to KYA FM & AM in San Francisco. My career in Bay Area Radio and Television has lasted over 20 years. I married in 1979, had two beautiful daughters and divorced in 1987. I remarried in 1991 (engaged when we attended the 20 year reunion), and we...Expand for more
're about to celebrate anniversary #10. I spent 10 years on the Board of Directors of the Academy of Country Music, I've interviewed people like Garth Brooks, Shania Twain (and more Country stars than you can shake a stick at), Smokey Robinson, James Taylor, Joe Cocker, Dick Clark, Chris Isaak, Harry Belafonte and Pat Boone! I do commercial voice-overs, write articles for industry publications, design websites for the organizations in which I'm involved, and try my best to be a good mom and wife -- life has been "pedal to the metal" for so long, I don't know any other way to live. I'm the General Manager and Faculty Advisor of an educational radio station, and I teach Radio Communications and Video Production to high school and college students, at least till my daughters finish high school -- then, who knows? Maybe back to radio -- my "first love". There are Katella classmates I sure have wondered whatever happened to -- want to compare lists? --Melissa Foster-Wilson
