Howard Geltzer (J58, GJ50) wanted to be a baseball player, but a high school coach dashed his hopes. So, he decided to cover athletics for the school paper instead. Geltzer’s interest in journalism brought him to the Medill School of Journalism. After Northwestern, he started a PR agency with his wife Sheila. In 2000, Geltzer and Company was sold to advertising giant Publicis, who named him vice president and marketing director.
