I moved to Evansville from Northern Illinois.

I worked for the Chicago Daily News from 1970 until they shut the doors in 1978. I did some magazine and other work for a while, then went down to Knox County to work for Larry Hiatt's chain of papers, which included dailies in Princeton and Bicknell, plus one in Mt Carmel Illinois, and several weeklies as well, including the ones in Monroe City, Bloomfield, Linton and a couple of other locales.

The Morning Evansville Courier was probably more competition to our AM flagship daily than the more local evening competition was; among other things, we had a rep for including story details they had sometimes left out.

I ended up with a paper in St Louis for a while, then relocated to Memphis, where I've covered the Mid-South for a couple of magazines and online news outfits, plus consulting on story projects for investigative reporters and editors and a researcher or two.

Illinois pedigree: Lebanon 1972-73, Belleville 1973-75

This is the latitude where the pronounciation of "sodie-pop" begins.
