Birthdays for Saturday, March 20
Here’s wishing the happiest of VizEds birthdays to a couple of top-notch visual journalists…
Jen Hiatt is a sports designer at the St. Petersburg Times. A 2006 graduate of Indiana University, Jen has worked at the Times for four years. She’s also working on a master’s degree in mass communications at the University of South Florida. Part of her thesis includes an ecological-themed blog. Jen turns 26 today.
Bob Voros has been a graphic artist at the Virginian-Pilot for 17 years. A native of Syracuse, N.Y., Bob is a 1989 graduate of the State University of New York at Oswego. He spent five years at the Syracuse Post-Standard and two more at the San Antonio Express-News before joining the Pilot. Bob turns 43 today.
Jen and Bob share a birthday with actors Holly Hunter, William Hurt, Hal Linden, Carl Reiner, David Thewlis, and Fred “Mister” Rogers; director Shelton Jackson “Spike” Lee; musicians Jerry Reed and Chester Bennington (of Linkin Park); model Kathy Ireland and sports greats Bobby Orr (hockey) and Pat Riley (basketball coach).
In addition, today is the Festival of Extraterrestrial Abductions. Seriously.
Best wishes, Bob; Jen! Have a wonderful birthday today!

Thanks, Chuck. I didn’t know me and Spike Lee had the same B-Days. And Happy B-Day to Jen.
