Linda Greiner (later Sprague) was the one I met at the 50th anniversary
party.  Didn't she later become station manager (or was it assistant
station manager?)?

That being said, the next woman to lead the station (by then the position
was retitled as General Manager) didn't arrive until almost 20 years
later.  We've had a few more since then, including our current GM and
her immediate predecessor.
