 Justin Catanoso
Catanoso is the executive editor of The Business Journal and provides weekly business reports to 88.5 WFDD. But this week on Voices & Viewpoints, Catanoso gets personal about realizing he’s related to a saint, his brother’s death and struggling to discover his own faith.
On Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008, Catanoso will hold a book signing at Greensboro's Barnes & Noble (Friendly Center) at 7:30 p.m. and on Wednesday, June 4th, 2008, he'll hold a book signing in Winston-Salem at Barnes & Noble (Hanes Mall Blvd. behind Macaroni Grill) at 7 pm.
Also, some of this summer’s movies fall short in delivering the "full Monty" for our media critic Mary Dalton. |
Jeff Cranfill went from playing in an obscure garage band to touring internationally, managing the production of big name musicians and ministers. This Kernersville entrepreneur is a partner in Special Events Services, a company that provides live production services to groups ranging from Hootie and the Blowfish to the 2006 national tour of the Veggie Tales. He also manages live productions for the ministries of Billy Graham and Joyce Meyer and Joel Osteen. Later this summer, Jeff will travel to Mexico and Taiwan with the Franklin Graham Ministry. Special Events Services, based in Winston-Salem, grosses more than 5 million dollars annually and just opened a new division that designs multi-media production systems for churches.
Plus, in a society where moving from place to place is considered a sign of success ... our commentator Diana Greene discovers sometimes success is achieved by staying put. |
A little fresh paint, some new carpet and an expensive lamp or chair - so many of us still struggle in pulling it all together to give our homes a new look.
Mary Dean easily transforms spacious homes around the country with the keen eye of an artist. She is the founder and president of Mary House and Associates and for 24 years, she's been decorating homes for clients across the country. She's now based in Winston-Salem with her husband, Dr. Richard Dean.
Plus, our media critic Mary Dalton says there's something missing from this summer's movies: the feminine touch.

Plus, our commentator Diana Greene realizes this Mother's Day is one of several new beginnings. |
