Dick and I did a lot of formatting work together before the
computers were improved enough so that every editor and reporter could do it
without formatting.
Pat Englehart was the BJ’s first newsroom electronics coordinator.
I succeeded Pat and trained the first person in the newsroom on the first
terminal in the newsroom. Then my techie skills made me the TV Editor because
Channels was the most complex formatting required.
Dick and I often shared monthly BJ retirees gatherings at Papa Joe’s
in the Valley. Ken also showed up a few times.
