My apologies, the hack is not as I said but as follows...  But I'm 
still looking for a package that has this sort of thing built-in.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{times}

\usepackage[screen,nopanel]{pdfscreen}
\margins{.5in}{.5in}{.5in}{.5in}
\screensize{6.25in}{8in}
\notesname{Notes:}
\hypersetup{pdfpagemode=FullScreen}
\begin{document}

%% Here goes a new page style
%% that will keep a footer in every slide
%% Use the command \slidefoot in every
%% slide so that the footer will be effective
%% If you dont use this command in a slide
%% the previous slidefoot will be effective.

\makeatletter

\let\@footleft\@empty\let\@footright\@empty
\def\ps at mystyle{\let\@oddhead\@empty\let\@evenhead\@empty
   \def\@oddfoot{\parbox{\textwidth}
   {\parbox{.45\textwidth}{\textcolor{section1}{\@footleft}}
     \hfill\textcolor{red}{\bf No.~\thepage}\hfill
   \parbox{.45\textwidth}
    {\hfill\textcolor{section1}{\@footright}}}}
   \let\@evenfoot\@oddfoot}

\def\slidefoot#1#2{\gdef\@footleft{#1}\gdef\@footright{#2}}
\ps at mystyle
\makeatother



\overlay{friburg_template.pdf}

\begin{slide}\Huge\color{orange}\centering
This is  Slide No. \theslide.\\
\color{blue}\large Slide overlay No. \theslideoverlay.\\

\slidefoot{My first Slide}{Troy Goodson}
\end{slide}

\clearpage

\begin{slide}\Huge\color{orange}\centering
This is  Slide No. \theslide.\\

\slidefoot{My Subsequent Slide}{Troy Goodson}
\end{slide}
