Gail Martin, Director of Business Administration, Retires
Gail Martin
I first walked into WGBH on January 20, 1978, in the middle of a 20” snowstorm to interview for an unpaid internship while in graduate school. This was the storm that preceded the famous February Blizzard of ‘78. The person I was to interview with was not able to make it into the station because of the raging snow, but the switchboard operator had received a phone message that she read to me. “If she shows up tell her she’s got the job.” So that is my inauspicious beginning. I did about a year’s worth of internships (much more interesting than the one I did at WBZ) and on 1/22/1979 I was hired officially in Radio as a Production Secretary. The growth that GBH has experienced in these past 40+ years is incredible, and I am proud to have been part of it. – Gail Martin at her retirement, June 2023

Congrats Gail. The Foundation benefited from your thoughtfulness, steady hand, and focused mind for many decades. I loved working with you–Dan and I send our best wishes to you.
Gail, onto a new world. WGBH (sorry for the use of the old title) is better because of you. Maybe Archives can get to do an interview with you … one for the history books. Fred
