Nancy Stokes is a respected reporter for the San Francisco Register who is featured in "Home By Another Way". Nancy was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and won the Overseas Press Club Award. But that doesn't stop the rumors that she somehow got special treatment when she got the job of reporter after starting out as a self-described "copy girl" in the late 1970s. When traveling, Dan meets Nancy on Christmas Eve, 1979 and discovers that she was out of the building when Ombacher died, and that instead, his son Dennis sat by and watched his father die in his office.
