Kevin Donohue- Biography (click

As
Bill Cosby likes to say, "I started out as a child". 17 years later,
after graduating from
Brandywine I headed south to North Carolina and spent two years with the good
Benedictine brothers at Belmont Abbey College near Charlotte. Around 1970 my
family moved to Daytona Beach, Florida and I spent my last two college years in
much warmer climes matriculating at Stetson University in Deland, where I earned
a degree in Economics and met my future wife Denise, another Econ major. We were
married in 1973 in Jacksonville and have been raising three bright and
entertaining children. We just celebrated our 32th wedding anniversary December
29th. Ryan, ou
r
oldest, works for Transportation Security Agency in Boston. Caitlin lives
in NYC. We have lived in Columbia for the last 28 years. Our youngest, Peter is
20 and graduated from Wilde Late High School & attends Baltimore Culinary
Institute. I coached Pete's basketball team
for three years and we won two Howard County
Youth League divisional championships. Believe me, coaching these kids was much,
MUCH more exciting than college or the pros!
I
started out my professional career working in television at WTTG, Channel 5 (Now
Fox 5) in
Washington, DC. After working 6 years in various capacities in production,
programming and sales, I left TV in 1979 and have worked in commercial and
public radio in marketing and sales ever since. Recently, (Aug.'04), I started my
own public radio friendly ad agency;
KFD Media
that will bring corporate support
(underwriting) and sales management expertise to the broader public radio
community. In my spare time, I can usually be found puttering around in my yard in
Ellicott City, grounds keeping and maintaining a fleet of 2 aging vehicles
(incl. 2 classic Saabs, my favorite, an '88 Saab 900 SPG turbo with 204,000 miles & a
restored '86 900
Turbo-recently sold)
(Pictured is a 1961 Austin Healey 3000 I owned '69-'72)
all the
while growing (IMHO) the
best tomatoes in Maryland.
The idea for starting a Brandywine Class of 1967 website started when my IT
pro wife gave me an internet domain for my 50th birthday which I titled
"kevin67.com". I started with a list of all 547 Class of '67 members and
things just grew from there. With my youngest son, Pete's help and
expertise and content from other
BHS Class of '67 classmates, I have been able to design, build and maintain this enjoyable
experiment. It has been fun. Sometimes frustrating but always rewarding
especially when everything works. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I have
creating it. As Thomas Wolfe said you can never go home, but hopefully, with this
little bit of technological marvel, you can journey "home" again to
High, even if only for a brief visit. Kevin
