One last ACES conference post: These are business cards I amassed; each has
\na little story worth passing along. <\/p>\n

Mike Fuhlhage teaches copy editing at the University of Missouri and helps
\nget the student paper to press. He’s the guy who went to the Southern Culture
\non the Skids show with us. He’s a tall, baby-faced guy in his mid-30s who looks
\nto be about 22. I consoled him that the upside is that when he’s 85, he’ll look 70. One
\nof the funniest dudes I’ve met in quite a stretch, reassures me that copy desks
\nneedn’t be mountains for the morose. <\/p>\n

Mary Ellen Slayter works on the financial desk at the Washington Post. Probably
\nthe rockingest woman in the profession — she had a story about the Skids that
\ncemented my determination to see them. I forget what it was because, well, there
\nwas too much wine in me. She also has a way-cool tattoo on one arm, which I
\ntook as proof that the newspaper biz may achieve coolness by the time her grandkids
\nare old enough to work in it. <\/p>\n

Patricia Marroquin used to work at the Mercury News, which is where she and
\nmy boss, Linda, became friends. She’s also worked at the L.A. Times and the Dallas Morning News before taking over the copy desk at the Ventura paper, where her husband’s in charge of design. Patricia was part of the posse I declared Coolest in America after the Skids show. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
