Why Heraldblog?

A long time ago, in a place far away, I was a college student.

I had long hair, and wore faded jeans and carried a backpack. I drank lots of beer, listened to rock music on a phonograph, and slept through my classes. And I worked on the college newspaper.

The newspaper was my family. Way cooler than I imagined a fraternity to be, and more time consuming than my coursework, the Western Herald was my ticket to the world. Or at least the world as I knew it, which was Kalamazoo, Michigan. Jimmy Carter was President, and disco had not yet hit the music scene when I first walked into the Herald office in the basement of the student services building. I stayed two years, then had to graduate.

I met some great people, did a lot of honest work, and left with a skill: producing copy. I've been writing ever since, for newspapers, magazines and corporations, covering everything from murder trials to dealer finance incentives.

So now I have this idea to reconnect with some of those people from a long time ago, in a place far away, and start a web blog. We'll see how it goes.

 Being writing and creatively challenged, I look forward to "reading you" you always stimulate me! (my intellect, of course) I would've been disappointed if Plan Nine from Outer Space hadn't been mentioned! Keep on truckin' baby...........
