Walter Johnson High School Class of 1966

Classmates

The most important part of this effort is to reconnect with friends in the great class of 1966. As Baby Boomers, think about what we’ve experienced, from learning cursive with cartridge pens to posting Instagram images with our smart phones; from learning about JFK’s assassination during the school day to watching the Twin Towers fall on 9/11; and for many of us, going from worrying about prom dates to welcoming grandchildren into our lives. It’s an amazing time to be living! Let’s celebrate and share.

Occupation:	The Associated Press, retired
Comment: I attended Northwestern University and graduated with a B.S. degree in journalism in 1970. I also have a degree in human resource management from UCLA extension. Nearly all of my professional career was spent with The Associated Press. My 37-year career took me to places I'd never been to and gave me a chance to meet people I'd only imagined about. I talked to four presidents, spent time with Mother Teresa and Billy Graham, watched Cincinnati cheer for the "Big Red Machine" which won the World Series in 1975 and 76. I also helped cover the 1978 fire which killed 168 people in Southgate, Ky. I was chief of bureau of the second largest bureau in the U.S., Los Angeles, from 1989-98. During that time I supervised coverage of the OJ Simpson case, the LA Riots, the Northridge Earthquake and the Loma Prieta earthquake in northern California. The beginning of my career had a "where's Waldo" feel to it. I started as an intern in Phoenix, Ariz., then worked nights in Tucson, Ariz., was transferred to the national sports desk in New York City and then became head of the company's office in Cincinnati, Ohio. After five years there, I made a one-year stop in Los Angeles, before becoming head of AP operations in Kentucky, based in Louisville; and then head of AP's operations in Los Angeles. I ended up my 37-year career with the AP as a regional executive. Going out on disability in 2003 and then taking early retirement has not meant a lack of things to do. I volunteer at a literacy center, teaching citizenship (20 new citizens and counting); mentoring the local high school newspaper; and organizing programs for the children's department at the local library, I am also on the library's board of directors. I also mentor the high school newspaper staff, several times each month, and have docented fifth graders at the nearby Norton Simon Art Museum. If you can't fool a fifth-grader, you're not trying hard enough. ANDY
