Via a thread on the newsgroup sdnet.general comes this link on AmericanSingles.com which features a San Diego newsanchorwoman from the past San Diegans should remember. I was going to post a picture, but now think better of it. The links on the AmericanSingles site are public, so it seems like something we can link to.
I wonder whether having pictures and profiles so readily available on a dating site is such a hot idea, really.

That’s Carol LeBeau from KGTV, isn’t it?

She’s only 40? I would’ve guessed older! And the used of exclamation points! Annoying!

Ross is mentioned in this story about San Diego news in the 70s. She may also have been in an Episode of Simon & Simon. And further searches show this post, to Poynter Online, where a person with that name talks about working with ones’ boss as a News Anchor.

I’ll add, the photo appears to be a headshot from the 80s — I can’t seem to find any images online besides the one in the profile. But I think it’s *not* Carol LeBeau at all.

I’d bet $50 on it being Alison Ross! I googled the name! And there’s an AR who lives in LJ! Who ran in a marathon! Or maybe a half marathon! That pic is at least 15! Years old!
After she did TV, she was doing morning news on KOGO, and one day they dropped her without a word… one of those deals where you think she might be on vacation, but she never comes back.
I guess my question is - does american singles automatically update the age, or is it a static field in a really old ad that has never been updated. I tend to think it might be an old ad - who would use a B&W photo in this age of cheap digicams. On the other hand, it says her last login was today, and the last update was last month.

Ms. Allison Ross is a personal friend of mine, and I state that she is a very beautiful woman…inside and out. She is a person of integrity and respect. Allison is an extremely busy woman, and like most of us in this day and age of cyber this and cyber that chose to try out an online dating service. Millions and millions of people have found the ease and time saving format of cyber dating to be a happy medium to explore.This seems to be a problem for a few small minded people on this website. The bar scene is dead…unless of course you are a student. or behind the times. Allison…the world is yours. Go for it. Your friend always… Bobby

1) She said “get a life”! What a burn! I’m dyin’ here!
2) Bobby Wells: “Ms. Allison Ross is a personal friend of mine, and I state that she is a very beautiful woman…inside and out.”
I think Bobby Wells is anglin’ for a little Allison Ross lovin’ himself.
