Nancy Duffy (November 24, 1939—December 22, 2006)〔Birth/death dates from Social Security Death Index.〕 was a longtime newspaper/television personality and co-founder of the Syracuse St. Patrick's Parade, Syracuse, New York in 1983.〔(Syracuse St. Patrick's Parade ), Official committee Web site.〕 ==Journalism== Duffy graduated with a bachelor's degree in 1961 from Marywood College in Scranton, Pennsylvania. After college, she took her vows as a Catholic nun and was known as Sister Jude Michael before leaving the convent after a year. Duffy worked at newspapers in Scranton and Cortland, New York before moving to Syracuse to work for the Herald-Journal, where she was a police beat reporter. She left that job in 1967 to work as a reporter at WHEN-AM and WHEN-TV (now WTVH). She took a year off from reporting in 1970, when she became press secretary for Syracuse Mayor Lee Alexander. She then returned to WTVH, where she worked as a reporter for six years before going to work at WIXT. For years, she anchored brief local news and weather reports that aired during breaks in ABC's ''Good Morning America''. While she often covered breaking news, she once said she favored the lighter stories. She filed features at WIXT billed as "Duffy's People", which were gentle profiles of ordinary people with extraordinary stories. In the early 1990s, Duffy hosted "The Irish Connection", a half-hour public affairs show than ran on Public-access television. She was president of the Syracuse Press Club from 1991 to 1992, and was honored by the club in 2000 with induction into its Wall of Distinction located at the John H. Mulroy Civic Center. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nancy Duffy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
