Jamie Gangel: `A lot of my friends have family members who are going to be at this speech." Accidental Career Gangel had no intention of going into broadcast journalism when she attend- ed the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University and went on to an international economics pro- gram at Harvard. The daughter of a judge and the stepdaughter of a lawyer, she antici- pated a career as an attorney, but her parents urged her to try another field before entering law school. Gangel, who grew up in New York, worked two jobs at the same time: Mondays-Fridays in one newsroom and weekends in another. "I started as a desk assistant ripping wires [taking copy from teletype machines] and learning how to do the job and fell in love with what I was doing," she says. "When I was 25, I was a local radio reporter in Washington, D.C. I got my first job in local TV in Miami. Somebody at NBC had watched and called to ask me to work for the net- work. I've been there ever since." Gangel, married to mystery novelist Daniel Silva, met her husband when they were both correspondents in the Iran-Iraq war. He quit his job with United Press International and became a producer for CNN in Washington to be with her. "I couldn't do my job if he wasn't doing his," Gangel says. "One of the great advantages of being a writer and working at home is that he is there for our twins when I have to go some- place on assignment." Judaism is very important in Gangel's life. The family is active in Temple Sinai in the nation's capital, and Silva's last five books have an Israeli spy as the main character. "I'm pleased to see that my children, Lily and Nicholas, strongly identify with Judaism," she says. "They remind me every Friday to light the candles. They went to a Jewish pre- school, and when they graduated, I asked my son if he would like a pres- ent. I thought he would ask for a toy, but he said he wanted a menorah. I'll never forget it." Gangel feels a special connection to the Hadassah luncheon. "I've discovered that a lot of my friends have family members who are going to be at this speech, so I'm thrilled about that," she says. "One woman, Gaby Davis, is the grand- mother of a best friend of my chil- dren. Another is the sister of a mem- ber of my camera crew." LJ Jamie Gangel will address the opening meeting of the Greater Detroit Chapter of Hadassah, which also will have boutiques.
