Friday, Nov. 25, 2016, Blog Day 1
My goal is to tell the kind of stories you would tell, or you’d like to hear, sitting around a glowing camp fire or driving through a rainy night to some distant place. Some will miss the mark, of course, but that’s my goal.
I was a newspaperman for 42 years. During that time I wrote thousands of stories for the paper. These aren’t those stories, although I’m going to post stories about some of those stories. These are My Stories.
Many of them may not be of interest anyone outside my immediate or extended family. Others, like “Lucky’s Best Story” or a story Brother Dave wrote called “Gone Missing” –or stories about the Appalachian Trail or the newspaper business — will have broader appeal.
I started in November 2016 and continue blogging on Mondays and Fridays, until I ran out of stories in early 2020. I still post occasionally, when a good one comes along.
I want to thank my brother, Dave, for creating this blog. He didn’t know beans about it to start with, but he’s pretty smart and he doesn’t give up easy.
