Broadwing Alumni Association

Ok Wingers, it's April 2025. Whatcha up to these days?

Kinda quiet in here. How’s everyone doing these days?

Who’da think that 20+ years later my 16 year old son would find this in a box and deem it cool...? :)

Another very sad day. Kyle was an extremely beloved sales person.

Dear Broadwing friends,

It’s with a heavy heart that I share some very sad news. Broadwing alumnus Kristine Powell Jones, wife of Mike Jones, is in the hospital in critical condition. Mike’s explanation of her status and condition follows below.

Please keep both Kris and Mike in your prayers. Mike is posting status updates on his page if you would like to follow him.

Thanks,
Gina Nomellini

From Mike’s page:

There have been many people added to this timeline in the last couple of days, so here is a summary of what has happened.

We found Kris collapsed at 3AM Tuesday. I started CPR while the EMS folks came and we took her to the ER in Taos. They got her heart started and put breathing machinery on her. About 6:30 AM we got some eye pupil reaction, so we put her on the care flight to the CCU at St. Vincent in Santa Fe. Through the afternoon she was having seizures, but she eventually started breathing and her heart beating on their own.

She is currently not conscious and there is only faint activity on her EEG. Another EEG will be done on Friday. I am visiting every few hours and praying over her. She has very good medical help doing the best that they can.

The best way to help is to pray. Thank you all very much.

It's time (yet again) for all of you, the Broadwing Alumni, to please come forward and tell us where you are, what you are doing,and where you are headed next. Please provide a quick update on yourself and then "tag" two other former employees to get their updates as well. Rumor has it that we may have a huge group of people who formed or joined a company south of Cityview. We also have another group who may have gotten together up North. Please check in and tell us about yourself and what you are doing. Ready? Go.

Theresa Gray wanted to make sure that the Broadwing family was aware of Dennis Gray's passing in October of 2010. I seem to recall hearing of that loss but couldn't find it on this page so wanted to share. We were such a tight family that it is always hard to hear sad news. Dennis is certainly missed.

It's time for all Broadwing Alumni to come forward and tell us where you are what you are doing, etc.. Please provide a quick update on yoursellf and then "tag" three other former employees to get their updates as well.

Hope all you Wingers are doing well out there!
