Linda Florence Callahan, Ph.D. CSM Immediate Past Chair Professor Journalism & Mass Communication North Carolina A&T State University Greensboro, NC 27411 (336) 334-7221 x 3003 Subject: AEJMC sad news I am sending this message to both the outgoing and incoming AEJMC Boards. Von Whitmore died this morning from ovarian cancer. I just had a message from one of her colleagues at Kent State. Von had been a member of the AEJMC Board for the past 4 years as vice chair and chair of the Council of Divisions. As I have more information I will send that along. We will also send an email out to the Council of Divisions.
