Radford U Alum Starring in TV's "Glee"




Jayma Mays, who graduate from my alma mater Radford University in Radford, Va., in 2000 is one of the stars of Fox TV's hit musical comedy series "Glee," which airs on Wednesdays.

"Glee" is one of my friend Moviezzz's favorite shows on tv, and he has written many features about the show on his blog: www.moviezzz.blogspot.com

Mays (this photo is apparently an older one of her) is originally from the coal-mining town of Grundy, Va (in far southwest Virginia, near the Kentucky border). She plays the role of Emma Pillsbury, a high school guidance counselor who is really into hand-washing.

Radford University is celebrating its 100th anniversary, and the school was supposed to have its annual Homecoming Festival this weekend, but the Blacksburg-Radford area is projected to get (yikes!) a foot of snow at last report.

RU's men's basketball team is also scheduled to host UNC-Wilmington for college basketball'a Bracket Busters, televised on the ESPN networks, on Feb. 20.

Of course, the way things are going, it may well snow then too!
