Also, I think I read that Jeanetta Jones now has her own little jewelry store outside Atlanta in one of the suburbs.
Jeanetta's fate may be due to a different reason. Leading up to 2007, every OCM without the title "meteorologist" had been getting a degree or at least a certification to be considered a meteorologist. In fall 2006, Jeanetta and Kristin Dodd were the only two to not have the "meteorologist" title, but Kristin Dodd earned a certification by the end of the year, giving her the "meteorologist" title. I'm wondering if TWC forced all OCMs to earn a degree or certification by January 1, 2007 or lose their jobs.
I think its sad, because I really liked Jeanetta. She was always one of my favorites. Back around 1992, I wrote her a letter (as well as some other TWC OCM's) and she had the nicest reply with an autographed photo. I think Vivian Brown was another that replied to me as well as Janine D'Adamo (spelling?). Another one of my favorites now gone was Melissa Barrington.

Yeah Jeanetta was one of my favorites too. It was sad to see her go.

Yes, she only went by D'Adamo at TWC, AFAIK.
