That's how Jack Smith, a
72-year-old former newspaper reporter and editor, described it to 30 visiting
students from Auburn and Opelika high schools on the Auburn University campus.
While growing up, Smith waited
every day for the mail carrier to pull up in his 1939 Ford and drop the
newspaper off. "I'd read and study every issue, sometimes for hours on
end," he said. The stories and design of the paper began his love for
journalism.
His first route when he went to
college wasn't journalism though. He first wanted to become a civil engineer
until someone told him the amount of maths and physics involved. He then
changed to the business school, eventually making the move to journalism. Paul
Burnett, standing on the same place as Smith did during his speech, inspired
him while he was in college.
