During the summer of 1981, between my 8th and 9th grade school years, I went to a Journalism Workshop at Ball State University held at Ball State University. Darren and I roomed together at this. I ate lots of Dannon yogurt at the cafeteria and played way too much Missle Command. We watched the movie Airplane! one night there with everyone.

I have a Certificate of Completion from this. I think that the Journalist Association of Ohio Schools (JAOS) was a sponsor of this workshop. We kept them tacked up in the Yearbook room for all of my Freshman Year (1981-1982).
