There are so many real stories of people that surmount obstacles day after day it should be easy enough to find them and get some bio info. Still it's understandable when a columnists decides to conjur people up out of thin air. Why go out when you can work in. Why take a chance your pulitzer potential story have an unsympathetic twist to it. That can't happen if you control it from start to finish.
Besides, if such people don't really exist, they ought to.
