I am excited to bring  a new category to my website, which is “Pages from the Scrapbook”.

A lot of people don’t know that back in the seventies, eighties, and nineties I was a boxing beat writer and correspondent for my local newspaper, the Santa Barbara News Press.  Along with doing fight predictions and feature boxing stories, I also was a guest boxing reporter on local radio for all major fights.

Starting this month and about every other month, I will display the original newspaper articles that I wrote for viewing.  I learned quite a bit in the journalism field back in my younger days that has guided me to be the producer of this website that I am today.
