From the Detroit Free Press: A privilege to appear in Free Press for 3 decades
Not many people know this story. Before working at the Detroit Free Press, I was a sports feature writer at a newspaper in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. I was desperate to be a columnist. I had come from the music world, I thrived on creativity, and it felt natural to me to write with a voice, all things a column job affords.
After two years, my chance arrived in Ft. Lauderdale when the senior columnist left for another job. I was beyond excited. I gushed to my boss over the thousands of topics I wanted to write about. On my way out of his office, I casually asked what the new salary was.
