Renato- I do hope that [Tom] Fiedler, who is 77, is the "South Paw" in the photograph-his comment was the best. My impression of journalists now? Almost annoyingly inquisitive, but a committed dedicated and rare breed? Just my impression, however sometimes if you ask enough, eventually you will get your answer. And your motorcycle ride? Finding a sense of beauty in all that surrounded you, rather than bemoaning change like the urbanization and commercialization of the landscape. The sense of smell consolidated every memory shared.

Ha! Sadly the "south paw" picture is from a free photo sharing source, and is very likely not Fielder. The article from Nieman Reports has so many good quotes and it was hard to pick just a couple. Most of the people interviewed for that story held senior positions before retirement, so I'm fairly confident they were not part of the shallow paparazzi crowd that sometimes masquerades as journalists. As for the motorcycle ride, those feelings were something I just had to share. Thanks for your comments, Sandy. Always greatly appreciated.
