JOURNALISM STUFF
Back in the late 80s and early 90s, I wrote 100+ articles for the college newspaper (The State Press) and Phoenix-based newspapers. Some of them hit the wire, which you never find out about until after the fact. I’m proud of the fact that my first professional story was published on page A-1 of the Arizona Republic. That’s quite a feat for a young journalist.
None of these articles can be found online, unfortunately. Maybe someday I’ll scan in my clip file.
