Birthday surprise for Barb Mudrak
Barbara Galloway Mudrak, who took the buyout in 2001
after 23 1/2 years at the BJ, was surprised by her Alliance High School 3rd
period honors juniors for her birthday.
She wrote:
“Thank
you for giving me the best birthday ever, complete with decorations, flowers,
cookies (home-made, too), ice cream sundaes, hats, pin the tail on the donkey
and a birthday sash. Love them all!”
o Barb teaches English and Journalism at Alliance.
The Mount Union College graduate from Garfield
Heights grew up in the home her parents built in 1948.
The rapid demise of
the BJ began in 2001 when Barb and a ton of talented people walked out the door
on the same day. Ol’ Blue Walls has never been the same and is down to fewer
than 60 in the newsroom.
The alarming exodus was
reported in this BJ Alums blog March 27, 2014 under the headline, “The Day the
BJ Music Died.”
Barb also is the adviser for the Red and Blue Flyer at Alliance. She still lives on
the farm in Columbiana County with husband Pete. They have two sons.
