Some of you know already that I am working on a memoir that I intend to give to my immediate family.<\/p>\n

I have some good news. First, I am making good progress on it. Most of it is drafted. I still have some more entries to include in the finished product.<\/p>\n

Second, I have come up with a working title for it. I am calling it “My Life in Print.” Snappy, eh?<\/p>\n

This memoir intends to chronicle all the people I met and some of the occasionally harrowing, but always zany, experiences I had during my nearly 37 years as a print journalist.<\/p>\n

It started in Oregon, the state of my birth and where I lived for the first 34 years of my life. I took a couple of years away from home to serve my country in the Army, went to war for a time, came home and re-enrolled in college. Dad asked me what I wanted to study. I told him I didn’t know. He suggested journalism. Why? Because he said the letters I wrote from Vietnam were so “descriptive” that he thought I had a talent I needed to develop in college.<\/p>\n

OK, so I enrolled in some journalism courses … and fell in love with the study and the craft.<\/p>\n

My beloved late wife, Kathy Anne, proposed the idea of a memoir shortly after I left my craft behind in August 2012. So, I am writing it for her and for my sons, my daughter-in-law, my granddaughter, my sisters and anyone else who might want to know how I spent my days — and many nights too! — for more than three decades.<\/p>\n

It is “My Life in Print.”<\/p>\n

Now, I have to get busy.<\/p>\n\n
