I knew Jackie back in the 70s and knew she had been to Rice, but never knew of the historical significance of that as revealed by this post on the Rice History Corner blog.
Besides being PD of KLOL in the 70s (see the KLOL brochure here), then of KSAN-FM, San Francisco, she had an interview program, 'Shootin' the Breeze,' featuring interviews with leading Black music artists, produced and distributed by Westwood.
As posted on Bill Young Productions -
a dominant force on the Houston radio scene for decades as talent, program director, production specialist and voice, passed early Sunday, June 1.
No obituary posted yet nor arrangements for a service.
I am in shock.
For those who do not know of Bill, I highly recommend his book.
UPDATE, ONE YEAR LATER: BILL'S SON, SCOTT, HAS POSTED A TRIBUTE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE. WELL WORTH WATCHING.
Also, see Scott's comment (# 14) here about his mom.
