My
writing samples
The
samples on this page represent what I consider my best work
from each year. I have arranged them in reverse chronological
order, starting with the most recent. It represents newspaper
work I have done since my beginnings at the Southwest
Standard. If you want to read the clip, follow these
directions:
1.
Place your pointer over the headline
2.
Click.
3.
Adobe Acrobat should load, allowing you to read the clip.
Note:
You will probably find it less of a strain on your eyes if you
print the clips.
You
must have a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader on your computer.
Unless your machine is especially old, you should already have
one. If you need a copy of Acrobat Reader you can download it
by following the link at the top right side of the page.
Yours
Truly,
