For a year. Cold as hell up there! Miserable place. Coming into town there was a sign
over the highway: "WHY NOT MINOT"
We're all thinking, "Why the HELL Minot!"

After I had been working for the Associated Press for about six months,
I was jonesing for a promotion and was called to New York for an
interview with Wes Gallagher, the head honcho at that time, and Keith
Fuller, his deputy. I was told I was in the running for a Chief of
Bureau spot but if I ****ed up, I'd be sent to North Dakota as a newsman.
Shortly thereafter, I got my promotion and was dispatched to West
Virginia and covered that state and parts of Ohio and Kentucky. Got to
report on a huge mine disaster and collapse of a major bridge, among
other stories. Loved the time I spent in WVA.
