I'm Published!
One of my history professors chose a paper I wrote to publish on a website he is creating about Washington State during the depression. I realize it isn't SI or anything, but I am still pretty excited about it and it will be nice to put on a resume.
Sports all comments and criticisms welcome. |

Real good read, congrats! Seattle has a fascinating sports history in my opinion, which is why it was so sad to see the Sonics leave.
I believe I read on Mark Cuban's blog that ratings are way up for all sporting events on TV. Seems people like using sports as an outlet during rough times. Edit: What are you looking to go into career wise? Journalism? Last edited by RainMaker : 11-16-2009 at 04:59 PM. |

You know it's good when Rainmaker and I agree. That was a nice piece, Lathum.

Now that I've read it.... very nice piece. My only nitpick, and this is more a matter of my own personal aesthetic in terms of style: a few too many instances of would.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
To answer your question Rainmaker, when I went back to school I wanted to go into journalism. I realized pretty quickly that it is a dying art, so I shifted to history with my teaching endorsement. The good thing about the history BA from University of Washington is it is very focused on writing so if I want to pursue that angle I'll have the qualifications to do so. |

Nice read. Longacres opened in 1933 if Wiki is correct which also supports your thesis, with the first Longacres Mile run in 1935.
