The development of a hack

The development of a hack

Sometime in about 1948, I wondered what one of these was. But, then again, in Brooklyn we had the Dodgers, so who cared?

Some time later, my best friend and virtual big brother showed me what "one of these" was.

Can't get enough of the girls. But, ignore the one I'm making eyes at. It was Dorothy S (on the right) that I "loved" in about 1951, Valley Stream, N.Y.

And then there was Mom. That's my late brother, Rick, on the right. On the Beach in Atlantic City in about 1954.

My first "major" interview, with the ambassador of a South American country (Venezuela, I think) at York Jr. College, ca 1964. Writing as editor of the college paper.

On 2 October 1965, then Pennsylvania Governor, William W Scranton came to York Jr. College to dedicate it as York College of Pennsylvania. Writing as editor of the college paper.

It's 1967, and this left-wing, anti-war protester is working as reporter for one of the (then) most right-wing papers in the country, The York Dispatch.

Paula and I were married in 1968. Later that year we moved to Hartford, CT where I began working at The Hartford Times. We found we were expecting our first child.

I was asked often, "What's a nice Jewish boy like you doing working at The Catholic Star Herald". Camden NJ, 1971.

Here I am in Washington DC, covering the 1979 anti-nuke rally for The Bulletin, Norwich, CT. (Photo by Bonnie Tober, my ex-wife and still one of my best friends)

We launched The Eagle, in 1980, a new weekly paper for Norwich, Ct. I was editor.

Super TBT In 1992 I emigrated from the US to the UK, fullfilling a lifelong (well, almost) ambition.

Toberpie In 2003 a colleague suggested, "I don't particularly want to see him [tbt] suffer. But it would be good to
have him turned into something more thoughtful, such as a Cornish pasty or a string of sausages." In response, another colleague prepared this seemingly tasty pastry.
