Paul Zingg, former Cal Poly provost, centerish.
Admittedly, we at BCA are Chico State fans. Daddy Dave Cox hails from the school as does daughter Lindsay. Pals Jeff and Joan Buckingham just dropped their daughter off for her frosh year. And CSU Chico’s prez is our own Paul Zingg, former Cal Poly provost. Check out this fun video and see how Zingg and a few friends welcome the newbie’s.
You remember we bade fond farewell to Kristin Savage, our designer who moved to SF recently. Well, this is one young woman who won’t be convinced there’s a tough economy out there. She found a great new position with a fun PR firm before the moving van even unloaded. We like to think it was that great work she did at BCA that made her so attractive to Bite Communications. Bravo, Kristin.
We note with sadness the recent passing of two wonderful women, each of whom left a deep imprint on our community and especially on college education: Lois Martinez and Sandee Ogren. We extend condolences on the loss and appreciation for their giving spirits.
Twittering Biz Wiz Martha Van Inwegen with BCA staff
Meet Martha Van Inwegen. We did, and were dazzled by the story of her company, Action Wipes, a business that sings using Twitter (and Martha’s marketing savvy). More on Martha in future FYI’s … Kudos to FYI fan, BCA friend, and well, heck, another Maggie Cox family member. Maggie’s sister, Diane Henderson, is a planning professional in Marin County and a dedicated volunteer. Diane spent a whirlwind ten days in
Globetrotting volunteer Diane Henderson
Western Africa vaccinating children against polio. She’s been to Argentina with Habitat for Humanity and the Philippines on a Rotary kidney transplant team. Next up: Diane leads a group of teens to Tijuana for a spring break homebuilding effort. And she does it all on top of a demanding day job.
We extend condolences to family and friends on the loss of two community leaders: Don Woodward of Sunset Honda and Richard Macedo, who was former Supervisor Shirley Bianchi’s longtime aide. Both fought long and hard; Don with ALS and Richard with cancer. They will be missed.
Kelsey Magnusen
Kelsey Magnusen covers a lot of ground. The Cal Poly student interns with us at BCA, manages marketing for the Mustang Daily, leads the Cal Poly chapter of the Public Relations Society of America and broadcasts as “Kelsey the intern” alongside Tom Keffury on KJUG Thursday and Friday mornings. Oh yeah, and she’s a public relations student, too …
We extend our condolences to Rob and Laurie Rossi and family over the loss of Rob’s mom, Mary Rossi, an elegant, caring woman who did much for the community of Avila Beach (among many other contributions).
And we have to say a sad goodbye to another wonderful old friend, Frank Calabrese, one of those special, kind, funny, fun people who touched our lives for years. Frank was a longtime engineer at KSBY who later moved on to Cal Poly. He passed away recently.

BCA extends its condolences to the families and friends of two longtime business and community leaders, both of whom passed away this week: Dr. John DeVincenzo and broadcaster Gary Owens.
