*Hobey Ford 

Hobey Ford has never had another career. Now internationally renowned in the puppetry field, an award-winning performer, Ford knew early on what he wanted to do after seeing a puppet show while still a youngster: he was bitten by the puppetry bug!. While studying at an arts college, Hobey eventually formed "...one of my cornerstones - that I would approach puppetry as storytelling with puppets."
Ford designs and constructs all of his Golden Rod Puppets as well as the beautiful set that surrounds them. Now a resident of Asheville NC, Hobey also draws on his early experiences growing up in coastal Connecticut or living in a Nevada Native American community when writing the scripts for some of his performances.  

Hobey has received the highest awards for his brilliant and priceless contributions to the world of puppetry: two-time winner of puppetry's highest honor, the UNIMA Citation of Excellence; recipient of three Jim Henson Foundation grants; and chosen as a Kennedy Center Partner to teach teachers (and other artists) how to use the performing arts in the classrooom curriculum.

Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
