What is the best professional lesson you learned at the J-School?
Communicate with people and on the page.

Have a ball at the parties, plus jam in the classwork. Above all, have confidence you’re good.

Heading to Lawrence, Kan., with Cal Fussman for the Tiger-Jayhawk basketball game in early 1976. On the way home, I drove and he wrote. On a typewriter. He made the (1) story sing and (2) Maneater deadline.

Go Tigers. Go Mets.
