Updates 6/29/09 Always good to hear from Jess Byrum ' 07 who sent a quick note expressing her delight over attending the 40th and how she met so many quality contacts. Karl Magenhofer ’99 sent a "hello" to Mr. J, asking him to give a brief profile sketch of a BIM grad who Karl is thinking of hiring at WSVA in Harrisonburg, VA where is News Director. We're always happy to help grads in any way we can, which certainly includes giving references. We always stress to our students that they should be very aware of making good contacts RIGHT HERE AT BIM. And the best way to do that is to always be a PROFESSIONAL by being on time, doing assignments, looking like a business person, etc. etc. By the way, it was great seeing Karl at the 40th as it was greeting all of you loyal alums who were able to attend. That's why we plan to have an annual reunion, just like in the good ole days. A surprise guest on June 29th was the inimitable Mike Gesker ' 74. He delivered an autographed copy, with a very meaningful message inscribed, of his latest and we think GREATEST accomplishment. It has taken him 6 1/2 years - that's correct - 6 1/2 years to complete this monumental effort. It is a complete history of the Baltimore Orioles from 1954 on, with pictures, stats, articles etc. This tome is just short of 1,000 pages and it's magnificent. On June 29th Mike was able to appear on Jamie Costello ' 78 morning show on Channel 2, promoting his masterpiece. Anyone who calls himself an Oriole fan, MUST have this book. Mike tells us that it can be purchased for $55 in most stores - but - he says if you log on to Amazon.Com you can get it for $35. We HIGHLY recommend this investment. Mike is a member of the BIM Hall of Honor and a former faculty member. He is one of our most cherished friends. No one deserves acclaim and kudos more than he does. He's just one of the truly "good people" in this topsy-turvy world of ours that far too often lionizes the exploits of the dishonest. This man is A-1. After 4 years in AA ball Bob Askin ’91 got the call to the bigs. He is now the senior manager of ticket operations for the Atlanta Braves at Turner field in Atlanta. Great Job Bob! All of us here at BIM would like to congratulate the seniors graduating high school. We also would like to remind all BIM alumni that you can make 250$for referring a student! So help launch a career and let someone know about the life changing opportunity that is being a BIM alumnus.

The O’s can’t seem to get on track this year but BIMers never seem to get off track…
Renting out a room, apartment or even a house to out of town students can subsidize your income in these tougher economic times. Below are just averages of what students have been paying. Call Mike Mennit if you have a room or other accommodations and you are interested.
