From the pages of the Double Gun Journal. Volume 1, Issue 1 - Winter 1989.
Professor Baskette would be proud of me. He was my teacher in a fourth year journalism class at the University of Colorado thirty years ago. At last, an opportunity to expose my journalistic skills to the world, however limited they may be.
I graduated with a degree in Conservation Education, a course consisting of liberal doses of English composition, journalism, biology, botany, geography and geology, with a sprinkling of certain required subjects intended to broaden one’s general knowledge. As I recall, it took two trips through Psychology 101 before I retained enough understanding of the workings of the human mind to get on with the rest of my life.
I grew up in a small town, Bridgewater, South Dakota, which is less than thirty miles from where I now live. In spite of its lack of size, Bridgewater has its claim to fame by way of being the birthplace of George “Sparky” Anderson, the major league manager who has the enviable honor of being the only person to have won World Series in both leagues. I’m famous also because “Sparky” and I learned to ride the bicycle together.
