I got quoted in the Chicago Tribune once by a reporter about machine politics in the City of Chicago circa 2004. My quote: “ I’m tired of the machine.” This one minute of my allotted fifteen-spent.

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

In them and wrote them, My first was when I was 11 as part of a safety program, the last time was an editorial piece about the folly of RR's Star Wars program.

College newspaper. I still have a copy somewhere.
Having spent years in photography, one day was approached by an aspiring journalist who wanted to tag along to do a spot on my job, which at the time was school bus driver.
When invited to look at the pictures couldn't help notice out of all the film the guy took, the amount of which in itself was a surprise, had devoted an entire roll to my feet at various angles. ?
When the article came out, being that I was still religious at the time & had promised my supervisors I'd bring a copy of the piece back to them, was pissed off the writer infused some satanic humor at the end. Of course now it's hysterical to me, but it wasn't then.
The lesson in all that was you never know what's going to be said until the thing is in print. No one offered to share that with me prior!

I am a strong proponent of gun control. Don't like to waste ammo when I miss the target.

Yeah, once on the front page. But my attorney told me to keep my mouth shut.

If you want to prepare students for the future teach them how to shoot a gun and dress wild game.

Several times. Most of them were about programs I had started or state and national recognition for such programs.One editorial sided with me in a conflict that a regional teachers' union rep started, trying to block a program (incidentally, that program also later won awards).

Well done !

Yes for me, over the years quite a few, regarding my work with animals, and theatre/music stuff.

In the 6th grade for a science fair at school.

Front page of the Lynchburg paper in '88. The AP picked it up. 15 minutes and no more.

Does TV count? I got on the news in San Francisco because I saw a guy fall to his death at SFO.

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.

Yep. TV here and in Europe, Ukraine, Australia.

Yes. Radio, television, newspaper, and magazines.

I've been in the paper for High School sports and been interviewed for couple of different reasons over the years.

Yes, but i don't mention it ?

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!

Not anytime recently, but I was a bit of an activist a few years back.

Turns out it doesn't make a living.

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.

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.

I was on the news. When I had lived in California. The fire chief was drunk did a hit and run. I had lived a few doors down from him. The news reporter came to my door with a camera crew. I just had said what a bad example.

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.

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.

I've been in the newspaper a few times and in Magazines several times
