Judi Boland

It was destiny that Judi Boland would work for The Associated Press. Her birth was announced through an AP photo because she was born during a March blizzard in western Kansas. (It was a slow news day because of the snow).

Mrs. Robert Lamb smiles affectionately at her two-day-old daughter, Judy, in Grace Hospital in Hutchinson yesterday after winning a race with the stork thru a raging snowstorm on Wednesday. Mrs. Lamb, of Macksville, Kas. battled six and a half hours thru the blizzard to travel 60 miles from her farm home to the hospital, reached only a few minutes before the child was born.

She has been an editorial assistant with the Oklahoma City bureau since March 2000.

She helped friends start the weekly Mustang Enterprise which is now the Mustang News. She graduated from Oklahoma City Community College and the University of Oklahoma.

A stint in the media liaison's office in the Oklahoma House of Representatives, two community papers in Colorado, a daily in Georgia then it was time to head back to Oklahoma and the AP.

After work Judi is welcomed home by Mr. Woo, her "sorta" Spitz. Days off and vacations are travel time with recent trips to London and Panama and weekend jaunts to Colorado, Kansas and Texas to visit family.
