Features
Most journalists will tell you that meeting characters is one of the job's many benefits. Here are a few I came across. The column samples
are from my stint as Life Editor at the Poughkeepsie Journal, when I had much more hair.
Features and profiles:
Filmmaker Ralph Arlyck (
Poughkeepsie Journal, 1988) -- A profile of indie filmmaker Arlyck,
whose
documentaries cast a wry look at everyday life, art and people.
To crash victim, city officer was an angel (
Poughkeepsie Journal, 1986) -- A woman trapped
beneath a car. Gas leaking all around. And an officer who just happened to wander by.
The 'Saturday' column,
Poughkeepsie Journal, mid-1990s
(with thanks to Malinda Reinke):
The poetry teacher
The gas station guy
The bus driver
