| | When she was growing up in the 60's, Angie Thompson spent a lot of time on
the lake with her dad and brother. Her father had a little jon boat they
would take to the county lake and spend the day in heroic pursuit of the wily
bream. The competition between brother and sister was intense, as they kept an
ever-watchful eye on each other's stringer to validate the bets they had laid
down in the Fairlane on the drive out. They were pretty evenly matched
adversaries back then, but little by little, Angie's brother edged her out
with his skill. With each progressive summer, he'd get a little better.
That trend continued unimpeded until seven years ago.
In 1992, Angie Thompson went to work for outdoor television producer Jerry
McKinnis and JM Associates. As the co-host of ESPN2 Outdoors since 1995, she
has been able to discover the most amazing places and meet the most
interesting people in a variety of outdoor arenas.
But, as co-host of Cumberland Stories, she knows there are hundreds more
fascinating people, places and destinations she hasn't yet discovered. | |
