About Rory »

I worked for three years as a high school sports reporter at the Orange County Register newspaper in Orange County, CA. However, money became more important than pride, so I left to pursue another career. But the writing itch still remains inside me.

Greetings Rory-

Just read your article on the Dodger comeback against Az. As the Dodger community leader, I wanted to welcome you to B/R and suggest you add the Boys in Blue to your favorite team tags.

Your bio comment about money vs. pride reminded me of my radio career 8^D

Hope to see more of your article soon, if you have any questions or comments, feel free to post them on my board.

All the best!
