Below is the first essay I tried to publish, and I sent it to The New York Times. The gall, right? It helped that, at the time, the NY Times editor, who ripped my story off the wire, was the wonderful Gayden Wren. Look him up, such an amazing, talented man. He didn’t know me from the man in the moon, and he told me that this was the first time he took a piece off the wire, from an unknown, for syndication. He also said that he wanted it because it made him feel something…ahh. Never met him but will never forget him..
