Did I miss anything Eric, >Ted? >Ted and I are ex-UPI'ers.... when it was a fun bunch to work for.... if you >didn't mind getting paid in nice film envelopes!! as another UPIer once said. I, too, am a former UPI stringer. Did it for two years helping to pay my way through J-School. I really enjoyed doing wire service work for a while, when my financial needs were few.
