CDers Remember Sharon as More Than a Receptionist

Sharon was always super friendly, and seemed to be so amused by our many adventures and dramas.

—Andrea Ringler Blakemore
Advertising Manager ’89-’90

I worked for the CD when we hired a full-time receptionist. After having student helpers with mixed levels of competence, it was so refreshing to have someone in a full-time position. It was especially wonderful to have Sharon Bradley in that position. Not only is she a fine receptionist, she is always so cheerful and entertaining to be around. It is always fun to visit the CD offices, and it is fabulous to have Sharon there still. Times change, and the students get younger every year, but it is nice to know that I can visit the offices and see a face that I recognize.

Advertising Manager ’90-’91

Sharon is the glue that holds The Cavalier Daily together in the face of obstacles that are typical of a student-run daily newspaper—yearly management turnover, overextended staff members, and general university relations. Her common sense and care for the organization have been greatly needed and appreciated.

—Dan Oakey
Business Manager ’92-’93

My fondest memories of Sharon were those we shared as friends. Sharon is special in that she honestly cares about the people she works with. She is always willing to lend a sympathetic ear and never judges anyone too harshly. We all managed to test her patience often (I especially), but she always seemed to brush it off with a smile.

Sharon wears a lot of hats while at the CD: newspaper receptionist, administration liaison, relationship counselor, personal therapist, caring parent and, most importantly, a good friend to all."

—Sung Kim
Advertising Manager ’93-’94

Sharon's seen and heard most everything that has happened at this paper in the last 10 years, so she's got a perspective unlike anyone else at The Cavalier Daily. We slide through here in four years (hopefully), and then the CD is for the scrapbooks.

Sharon has witnessed the insanity for a decade now. She has listened to us whine and cry and yell and never tells us to shut up, even when we really should. She encourages us when we screw up and pats us on the back when we get the scoop. Sharon Bradley is a godsend.
