Bud Mayer
Adolph "Bud" Mayer ('41), longtime head of public relations for the University of Denver, died in Denver on April 8. He was 80.
After graduating from CU, Mayer worked as an account executive with the Denver Max Goldberg advertising agency. He was a police reporter with the Rocky Mountain News for two years, then went to work for the San Francisco Examiner. He also worked for NBC and the Sacramento-based McClatchy newspaper chain before returning to Denver in 1949 to do publicity for the Central City Opera House. At the time, the venue was owned by the DU Foundation. His work eventually earned him a job at the university.
