More than 70,000 people have contacted me as an on your side reporter. That is about the number of folks that fill Lambeau Field on fall Sundays in Green Bay. While most people ask for help, many say thanks, tell eloquent stories or offer help to those in need. I'm indebted to the writers of these letters which I've sprinkled throughout this memoir.

Used car lots had spectacular sales on
George Washington's birthday when I was
growing up in Washington, D.C. At age 16,
I was on the front page of the Washington
Herald after buying my first car, a 1947 Buick,
for 46 cents on Feb. 22, 1956.
