The die was cast when he first lobbed a newspaper onto the neighbor’s front porch.
Growing up in the ‘50s in Glendale, when just about every driveway had a newspaper on it, it was my job to pick ours up early every morning and have it on the kitchen table so my dad could read the box scores and see how his beloved Yankees were doing before he left for work as a Brinks Armored Car guard.When I wasn’t reading the paper, I was delivering it. All my friends were. It was our first paying job, and for me, my first taste of deadline pressure.
Three mornings a week, at 5 a.m., I’d ride my bike in the dark to a nearby street corner where two bundles of newspapers had been dropped off under a street light for me to fold and deliver. For the customers who turned off the lights and pretended they weren’t home when I came around to collect, or ignored my knock, I slid the paper under their car in the driveway.
The first day of school I walked into her class and grabbed a seat at a desk in the front row. The fact that there was a cute girl I knew already sitting in the seat wasn’t amusing to Mrs. Swedenborg.
