I almost forgot. It’s too late for most people, but there are always a few diehards who visit late and on the weekends.
And here’s the original caption:
Judy Baar Topinka talked with members of AWJ (the Association for Women Journalists) Springfield over lunch in April, 1999. She has been both a news gatherer and a newsmaker. Topinka is a former reporter with a degree from Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism. She’s also a former Illinois House and Senate member. Topinka talked informally with our chapter about her days as a reporter and also spoke about politics, lawmaking, elections and dealing with the media. Topinka is a two-term treasurer and probably state government’s best-known accordion player.
Everyone always wants to talk about the accordion. Curiously, Google image search can’t find a photo of her playing one. Maybe I’ll ask her staff to provide me with one next week.
