Yeah, I was a people person back then. You were a back room machine person.

I am sure I met more people in my average day than you did, fetching
coffee for the real news writers. I am sure if we could ask Truman who
he had lunch with that day, your name would not come up. He might
remember there was a "gofer" there but I doubt he would remember much
more. Did you read him something someone else wrote, like you do here?

Heheheh. What a little mind you have.

You certainly seem to keep your intelligence under a box.

That you think I was a "gofer" at The Star is hilarious. I was a
full-fledged reporter from my first day at the paper, and after my short
indoctrination to learn the paper's style book, I spent my time there as
a street reporter, general assignment reporter, and feature story
writer. My last year there, after my reportorial assignment work was
done for the evening, I moved over to the copy desk, where I edited and
marked up copy for typesetting, and in my last six months, before I was
recruited by the Associated Press, I was acting World News Editor
because the actual World News Editor had taken a year's leave and
suggested to the managing editor of the paper that I fill in in his
absence. I was an AP Newsman and then an AP Chief of Bureau. I met
interesting people throughout my news career and, of course, afterwards.

I don't bother to do much enterprise writing here. It's a waste of
effort, what with the plethora of no-nothings and what-about-itis
posters like you.

They must have had low standards to hire an untrained person as a full
reporter.
