I lived down in Florida here in Vero Beach, and my best friend David Thompson and I were delivering papers at 5:00 AM and, uh- You know, today, uh, we don't have paper boys or paper girls because the parents, uh, would be arrested for, uh, child neglect for letting their kid go out at [chuckles] before dawn by themselves on a bicycle, but that's how it was back in 1970.

And the guy in charge of the bureau, Miami Herald Bureau, was a guy by the name of Phil Long, and he was a volunteer firefighter for the Vero Beach, uh, Volunteer Fire Department.
6:40
