Funding fell through 1971

1971, I got a better-paying job as managing editor of a new newspaper called The Houston Convention News.

I interviewed Robert Altman in town filming Brewster McCloud.

I hired a reporter and we put together the first issue when my boss called to say the funding had fallen through and I had lost my job.

But as it turned out eight years later, in 1979, Bob Altman gave me a job in Florida.
