Lookin’ at U — Pam McCright
Quick, think of five things others should know about you.

This week, we feature Pam McCright, senior buyer in the UNMC Procurement office.
Here, in her own words, are five fun facts about Pam:

I grew up in Fargo, N.D. When I am tired the accent is pretty noticeable.
I started swimming competitively when I was 6 years old and continued until my sophomore year in college. Way back then they didn’t have organized competitive sports for girls in North Dakota so my mother got a bunch of kids together and formed a swim team. She was our coach, motivator, chaperone and chauffeur. We were pretty darn good, if I do say so myself.
I met my husband Craig, when he was working part time at Bill Bailey’s Banjo Bar. How could I resist a guy with a garter belt around his biceps, wearing a Styrofoam hat singing “Won’t you come Home Bill Bailey.”
Craig was in the Air Force. We traveled a lot and enjoyed every minute of it. However, I was still in college when we got married. It took me six colleges, in five cities and three countries, before I finally graduated with a business degree.
I love to golf. Even though I am still reading and trying to master the book, “How to Line Up your Fourth Putt.”
