Newspaper column: 1997
Back in 1997, I wrote a series of articles for our local newspaper, the Waxahachie Daily Light. The first of those articles appeared in the May 29 issue of the paper, and had me listed as a "Guest Columnist".
After the first article, the publisher asked me if I would write on a regular basis. I agreed. Beginning with the second article, which appeared in the June 4 issue, I was listed simply as "Columnist".
My articles appeared almost weekly, and covered whatever topic was on my mind at the moment. The last article appeared in the November 16 issue. I have posted the articles here on my website, just because I can , and because some of them cover topics that are still important to me and about which I am still passionate.
Below is a list of the articles, with a link to each one.
