David's Story

As you can tell from the "now & then" photos I have always been in the newspaper business. I started delivering papers in 1968 for the "Evening Tribune" and went to work as an employee within a month of leaving Patrick Henry. I have had many different jobs at the paper over the last 38 years. Currently I do Field Support, a fancy name for helping people understand and navigate all the different technologies we use for home delivery. It has been an interesting road since leaving Patrick Henry. I attended San Diego State for a few years working on a degree in Industrial Arts. It took me a while to figure out Industrial Arts majors were being groomed to become teachers. NOT to work in industry which was my goal. As is so often the case, the path I did not want ended up being my career! I worked with young newscarriers from 1977 to 1991. Then on to adult carriers for another 10 years.

newspaper I work for has been family owned for over 100 years. Now it is up for sale and it will be interesting to see who buys it. (Sold in 2008 to the Platinum Group - my list of duties expanded when there were multiple layoffs.) I have been married twice and have two children. My son lives in Chicago and my disabled daughter lives here in the San Diego area. My wife and I are trying to visit all 50 states (and the 7 additonal that Obama mentioned - if he ever identifies them). We only have three left, North and South Carolina and Indianna. We plan to see part of Indianna by the end of the year.(Got there in the summer of 2008) Road trips have supplied the best memories and experiences. We both love finding the unexpected out in the middle of nowhere. Over the years I have reconnected with a few of my school friends. Others have been hard to find. If anyone knows how Penny Rathman (my wife and I had lunch with Penny last year) is doing I would enjoy hearing. (she is doing very well!). Update 2-24-10.
