About this collection My career began before the internet was a thing, when "cut and paste" involved scissors and rubber cement. Many of my early stories do not survive in archived digital platforms. Other stories were written for publications that did not survive. Other stories have become difficult to find because their publications have reorganized their web presences. There are no stories here from my work as editor of the Kodiak Daily Mirror or as a news reporter from the Toledo Blade. I am currently working to recover much of my work from the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, where I did much of my best sports reporting, but overall the samples on this webpage give a fair rendering of the character of my career.
