When I was a tv producer, I always told reporters the same thing: Everybody has a story worth telling, you just have to talk to them for a few minutes to find it.
I love your stories and the life you share. I had always believed I would be a journalist, right up until I tried to get a job at Rolling Stone. That experience sent my dream of journalism packing. Granted, other stuff came into it in the turbulent 70's. Let's just say, I always wanted to make an amends to my HS journalism teacher for giving up so easily.
