In the News: Undercover with Phlash Phoenix

Green Bay Press-Gazette writer Patti Zarling got a bird’s-eye view of the molting process last week as she transformed from reporter into Phlash Phoenix. Zarling traded her human attire for a suit of bright green feathers and a once-in-a-lifetime experience of portraying a mascot. Zarling learned that being Phlash the Phoenix is no easy feet (or beak) as she flocked to the Student Union Wednesday to interact with students during the lunch hour. There’s a nice photo of Zarling… er, Phlash… interacting with Chancellor Gary L. Miller. Also, good quotes from her “consultant,” the Glory Years Phlash Mike Pritzl. See Zarling’s article, “Taking Turn as UWGB’s Phlash was one Hot Experience.”
