Vetter-mug She has been deputy managing editor for multimedia, responsible for day-to-day operation of the newspaper’s Web site and digital media operations, since 2005. In December 2009, she was asked to help supervise the Star-Telegram’s coverage of Super Bowl XLV.

She was the newspaper’s on-site editor after the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995, the 9/11 attacks in New York and the shuttle disaster over East Texas in 2003.

She also helped direct coverage of the construction and debut of Rangers Ballpark in Arlington in 1994 and Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game at the ballpark in 1995.

She helped produce a television documentary, To Catch a Killer, and a high school football Web show that won a local online Emmy.

Vetter grew up in Garland and has lived and died with the Cowboys through the glory years of Staubach and Aikman and the not-so-great years of … well, let’s not name names.

Some people remember exactly what they were doing during the moon walk or Janet Jackson's wardrobe malfunction. Vetter can recall, in detail, where she was when Dwight Clark made The Catch over Everson Walls.

She is a 1983 graduate of Baylor University in Waco. She lives in Arlington with a gaggle of dachshunds and even more bicycles. She counts on both to help her blow off steam.
