Tony, our terrific tour guide
I have known Tony Perkins for more than ten years. We both worked at WISH-TV in Indianapolis, although he arrived there shortly after I had left. Little did I know our paths would cross again, this time in Beijing, China.
Tony now works as a sports anchor and reporter at CCTV, the state-owned media outlet. As soon as I heard we were going to China, I contacted Tony. He gave us some great advice about how to navigate Beijing; today he gave us a great tour of CCTV. Tomorrow we’re meeting for dinner and we plan to vist the Great Wall together next week. Thanks for being such a great host, Tony!
Tony Perkins is a sports anchor and reporter at CCTV. He's a great friend for the Ball State crew.
Meantime, I know everyone is probably getting sick of hearing me gloat about our students. But their latest story about Weaver Popcorn securing new business in China is a hit! Not only did it get picked up by Indiana Public Radio, indystar.com and several other news outlets, it was distributed by the Associated Press (AP). That helped the story appear in print or online in the Muncie Star Press, The Lafayette Courier and Journal, WISH-TV and WTHR-TV in Indianapolis, WKRC-TV in Cincinnati, WANE-TV in Ft. Wayne and WNDU-TV in South Bend. It also went on the website for THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE!
I can’t say enough about the great work our students have been doing. Now others are recognizing it, too.
Congratulations!!
I think this trip is an absolutely amazing experience for the students!
At the mention of Weaver Popcorn I certainly perked up when reading of its selling in China. Some 65 years ago I sold popcorn in a theater not very far from Van Buren, Indiana, the home of Weaver Popcorn. Of course it was Weavers that was sold there. I made 1 cent on every 10 cent box of popcorn sold. As a kid this job was my source of spending money . It’s great to see another Indiana business do well.
Terry, is there a link for these stories?
that’s a big Whooo hooooo!
Hi all! Nancy, that’s a great story! Who knew that Weaver would become so huge?
The best way to find the stories is to search the news sites on Google. Yahoo, Bing, etc. They’re kind of all over the place.
I was able to search and find the stories fairly easy – very cool
