For CBS news anchor and ORPF alum Jennifer Keiper the saying should go: “Find what you love, and let it thrill you.” Former Oak Parker and CBS news anchor Jennifer Keiper found what she loved when she was a student at OPRF in the ‘80s, and throughout her decades-long career, it hasn’t killed the high-energy, daredevil reporter yet.“I’ve been working 30 years,” Keiper said. “But never at the same place.”She flashed a quick smile at her understated joke. Her eyes have the focused intensity of someone used to asking the questions and then listening carefully to the answers. The past few decades have been years of major transformations in broadcast journalism, powered by media consolidations, new technologies, and changing attitudes about how much news, if any, a radio station needs to deliver. Still Keiper perseveres. Even thrives.“I consider myself very fortunate in that I've always done what I wanted to do,” she said. “And I've been able to do some things that I wanted to do on the side.”Like teaching. Or casually taking a 2022 Rolls-Royce Black Badge Ghost for a spin.Born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Keiper moved with her family to Oak Park in 1982 after her father got a job at with the West Towns Bus Company, which had been acquired by RTA a year before and was located where the Pete’s Fresh Market is today.Keiper attended Whittier for the last three months or so of the semester that year, then went on to Emerson Junior High School, now called Gwendolyn Brooks. She graduated from Oak Park-River Forest High School.
