In last Sunday's Wenatchee World newspaper, there was an article about the high school College Mentor Program.
The article featured me and used this photo! Last June, I took three students I previously mentored for a hike on Icicle Gorge trail.
Since 2006, I have been a volunteer college mentor, helping first generation, low income students write essays for college and scholarship applications. It thrills me to send kids to college.
I teach students writing and organizational skills, and the importance of doing work before the deadline.
Yes. I was interviewed by Esquire Magazine and the interview appeared in the Nov. 2017 issue. Not a newspaper, but interviewed nonetheless.
Congratulations! What was the topic?
@LiterateHiker Opioid Crisis
Yes. My son and I were interviewed after the start of Bush II Iraqi war, when we painted a sheet with peace sign and No War. Got egged. Misquoted, on purpose, by the larger county paper. Wouldn't talk to them again. Got interviewed by a smaller town paper and the larger paper paid to reprint that one, too.
With Citizens for Peace, we stood holding anti-war and peace signs at a busy intersection, during the lead up to the Iraq War.
"Fu-king traitors!" guys in trucks yelled, throwing beer cans and bottles at us.
@LiterateHiker i know. Now most of those idiots agree with what you were saying. I got more press by being a vet against the War, a stupid war.
Yes, I regularly write articles for newspapers and various magazines.
Good for you. For eight years, I wrote a column in Wenatchee Business Journal. The deadline came up fast!
You are to be commended. I admire you, I am proud of you and I congratulate you.
I won an engineering drawing contest when in college and made the front page in my hometown newspaper.
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words.
Yes. Radio, television, newspaper, and magazines.
I've been on TV, radio, newspapers and magazines.
Does TV count? I got on the news in San Francisco because I saw a guy fall to his death at SFO.
@slayerlam
Of course TV counts. I've been on TV and radio. Over the years, featured in newspapers and magazines for my community service.
The first time I was on TV, I got hives and had to wear a turtleneck in July. I was only 22.
Well done !
Yes for me, over the years quite a few, regarding my work with animals, and theatre/music stuff.
Thank you!
If you want to prepare students for the future teach them how to shoot a gun and dress wild game.
Why do you say that? I will never own a gun and support strong gun control.
You are so freaking awesome!!! A picture of me was in the local paper when I was in the 3rd grade. The got my name wrong
Thank you. I appreciate your kind words. I take myself for granted. Public service is my lifelong goal.
I've been in the Houston chronicle several times
Hope you are a famous healed artist soon
No, however my mother and I were interviewed when Ronald Clark O'Bryan was about to be executed in Huntsville, Texas.
For those not familiar with the case, he was convicted of killing his eight-year-old son Timothy on Halloween 1974 with potassium cyanide-laced Pixy Sticks.
Never interviewed as I am not so important. I have had a few letters to the editor printed. Usually I am correcting or complaining about some narrow view or some trite comment. Most recently I complained about someone asking why a person "did not look like an American". An American looks like their pass, their naturalization papers, their native born birth certificate. Sort of like our previous POTUS. Not our current jag bag. No American could look like him. Much too orange.
Pretty cool. I was Jan of 2006 0r 2007 when I was interviewing a homeless person during the point in time survey which is done annually and done across the country, but not sure it is annually or every few years, as I recall some were national counts. I wasn't thrilled about it, but the guy I was interviewing wanted to be in the paper.
Congratulations!
Yes, many, many times throughout my life in many newspapers, and I even wrote and did freelance photography for the Morehead News paper in Kentucky.
Not anytime recently, but I was a bit of an activist a few years back.
Turns out it doesn't make a living.
Actually, a few. The earliest was in a tri-state drama competition when in junior high, the latest was both in print & video at the anti-gun rally here in Phoenix. Besides 'letters-to-the-editor' there have been a few more. 'Nuff said!
I've been in the paper for High School sports and been interviewed for couple of different reasons over the years.
No, but my second rescue dog, 11 lbs., headlined a story about the raid on the hoarder home he was in, with 39 other dogs. They used his pic because he was on the top tier of cages & relatively clean....the ones on the bottom had drowned in filth.
Front page of the Lynchburg paper in '88. The AP picked it up. 15 minutes and no more.
In the 6th grade for a science fair at school.
