Mrs. Landrum had worked at FSU for 22 years, first in the controller's
office and then at the Broadcast Center, where she modernized
and streamlined the stations' accounting system.
"Not only did we lose a co-worker and a colleague and an
adviser, but even more than that we've lost a really good friend
to public broadcasting," said Patrick Keating, director

earned a bachelor's degree in zoology from FSU in 1965.
