Here’s wishing a very happy VizEds birthday to Jeff Glick, assistant managing editor of The Tennessean in Nashville. Jeff turns 44 today.
Jeff has been a The Tennessean for a little more than three years. Previously, he spent ten-and-a-half years as deputy managing editor of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel in Fort Lauderdale. And before that, Jeff spent three years as creative director of The Virginian-Pilot.
Jeff also operates a design, training and multimedia consulting firm, Jeff Glick Design. He’s redesigned more than 20 newspapers, designed web sites, created multimedia graphics departments and redesigned entire newsrooms for convergence. Check out his web site here.
Jeff shares a birthday with a big mess of 1970s icons:
* Page designer Nicole Bogdas, for example, was born on this day in 1979.
* Singer Toni Tennille hit the big time in the 70s as half of The Captain and Tennille. Remember Muskrat Love?
* Ricky Nelson — who was more of a late-50s/early 60s icon — had a big comeback in 1972 with the hit song Garden Party.
* Actor Melissa Gilbert starred as Laura Ingalls on Little House on the Prairie, a popular TV show in the late 70s.
* Comedian Don Rickles appeared in lots of crappy TV shows in the 1970s.
In addition, today is V-E Day. And, more importantly, it’s No Socks Day.
Best wishes for a very happy, sock-less birthday, Jeff!
WOW!!!!
I didn’t know Jeff and Nicole were born on the same day.
That explains alot!
Happy B-day

I was fortunate enough to have coffee/dessert with Jeff a couple of years ago on a visit to Nashville. He reminded me that he had written me a letter while in college seeking career advice. Luckily — and this is literally when I wiped the sweat from my brow thinking that I might not have written back — he said I had replied, and whatever it was that I said in the letter was enough to encourage him to seek a career in visual journalism. Journalism has certainly benefited from his decision, as have lots of other journalists whose lives he’s touched.
So, the happiest of birthdays to you, Jeff, and many happy returns of the day.
Happy birthday, Jeff! It’s good to hear your name again. It was always a pleasure working with you back in the, ahem . . . old days . . .
Happy birthday, Jeff.
It’s a little known fact, tom, but Jeff and I were separated at birth.
Jeff and Nicole has twins…
Who could of known..
Who could of known..(to be said louder, than the first time)
Happy B-Day Jeff. I can’t believe we’re in our 40s.
