‘Larry in Fishers’: Retiree and former journalist keeps busy with local blog, podcast

My first exposure to Current In Fishers was receiving the weekly local publication in my mailbox.  When I began this local Fishers news blog in 2012, I came to know the Current in Fishers editor at the time, Dan Domsic.  Dan did a quick story on my news blog, mostly as a favor to him because he had a news hole and needed one extra local story in that edition.

Dan has since moved on and I have had the pleasure of knowing the Current in Fishers editors since Dan had the post.  I have done some writing for Current, again, starting as a favor to Dan who asked that I do so, and wrote for several others in charge of the weekly.

Leila Kheiry is the Current in Fishers editor now.  We immediately bonded because she is a former radio person as am I.

Leila asked to interview me for a story so I said yes.  How could a refuse a fellow journalist?

I did not know Leila intended to put me on the cover of the print edition, but that appears to be the case.  It was a surprise.

I was not surprised by the skill Leila exemplified in her interview with me and the story she wrote.  It was a genuine reflection of my interview with her, which I would describe as more of a conversation than an interview.

I never started this blog for any kind of fame, but what I hope Leila’s piece might do is motivate others to start their on local news blogs.  Technology has made that so easy today.
