Hal Wright... Newsman
Bill Geist met 92 year old Hal Wright, the Publisher, Editor, Reporter, and Photographer for the Sierra Booster Newspaper in Loyalton, Calif. Hal was also the Sierra Booster?s only paperboy, with a very unique way of delivering the news.
Imagine if more of the "Younger Generation", which I am pretty sure I am still apart of, had his kind of work ethic. There wouldn't be so many lazy ass people out there with their hand out and those that think everything is just owed to them. Luckily for me, my mother and father raised me to work hard and I was never just given anything unless I worked for it. Hope I can pass the same ideals to my child and from other posts, I can tell many of you other parents are doing or have done a fine job raising your kids the right way as well.
Gotta give a bit of credit to Bill Geist. He got in that plane with a 92 year old. Not sure if I would trust someone 10 years younger to even drive a car. He did seem to have a good bit of git along in his step though and I did have a great aunt that could out drive any teenager. She was 95 when I would ride along (she wouldn't let me drive for her) but she quit driving at 98 and soon after died.
