I was hired by the paper at a journalism honorary society dinner because
I was being inducted into the society, even though I wasn't a journalism
school major, but merely a regular contributor to the college newspaper
and a stringer for another newspaper. I learned how to write in high
school, but I learned how to write for a newspaper at the Kansas City
Star. I learned reportorial techniques in the few j-school courses I
took after completing the requirements for my English major.

That was a long time ago. What did you accomplish in the intervening
years, and why did you leave journalism?

He did have lunch with every president since Harry Truman. He left
journalism to go on to bigger and better things like bankrupting
himself twice and allowing his shanty in Jacksonville to be
forclosed on. Not to mention his special relationships with the
IRS and multiple Florida tax collectors. He aquired a wife who
refused to take his surname. He left journalism because he sucked
at it. Readers want the truth not Harry stories.
Harry developed special lasting relationships with gangstas and
union thugs that he brags about to this day.
Harry is the sort of guy they make politicians out of. His only
holdback is he doesn't hold a JD degree or any other worthwhile
degree. So there he sits in his basement chunking out insults to
real boaters. What a life, eh?
