Sounds like a good deal. I been reading the vette mags for years and pointing out the inaccurate procedures listed in a lot of the articels on the C2 and C3's. I can write, take pictures,and know how to rebuild vettes, what else do you need?

Is the position for immediate hire? I will be graduating with a Major in Public Relations and double Minor in Marketing and Journalism in May 07. I do not have two years of field experience, but my transcripts will show that I got an A in every composition class I was enrolled in. I can provide samples of project/class work however, I have no "real" work to show.

It was a dark and stormy night. My blue 68 corvette convertible sits snugly inside my garage because I don't drive her on dark and stormy nights.

I'm thinking 69Myway (chris). He is a writer in Florida and hell, he even wrote his own book.
I remember also that he is considering a career change anyway. You guys should PM him and check out his homepage:
