Mama asked that I use my blog space to recognize VIPs: her former graduate students, 2 MA, 8 Ph.D. students. As she kindly grants access to her files & computer, it seems wise to comply with her request.
Contrary to Mama's assumptions , Allyson Mann: doesn't like coffee, isn't wild about Woody Allen films, and prefers not to pursue a Ph.D. However, Allyson conducted original research, visited Mama in Innsbruck, and was the 1st grad student Mama advised through completion of degree. She's a supportive, mysterious friend. My diligent web search discovered 1 image of her: 
For Brian Vaught's MA thesis, he constructed a post-modern ethnography, an online exploration of media production, forms & impact. He attended FAU & University of Illinois [close to finishing his doctoral degree].
So we begin the Gang of Ten, Tribute. Please return often over the next few days to meet the other VIPs.
