Description:
I left the Portland Business Journal abruptly and ended up quite unexpectedly in Hartford in 1986. It's a long story. Suffice it to say it involved a Business Journals chairman who consulted a psychic, a Lear jet, people in dark suits, a corporate spy and a briefcase pitched surreptitiously into the Willamette River. As Dave Barry would say, I am not making this up. At any rate, I applied to The Oregonian for a job. The HR department called up one of my references, the former managing editor of The Kansas City Star and, by then, executive editor of the Hartford Courant. He called me up and told me he needed a business editor. A month later, I was in Hartford.
