How a Conversation Became a Story

It’s Amazing What You Can Do on Medium

Turning a conversation reply into a Medium story

Here’s the first page of the 1996 Virginia Pilot Newspaper article on me and my magazine. I started this magazine when I was four-year shy of retiring.

This is an actual conversation I had with one of my followers and subscribers.

Marie A. Rebelle, I Got You! :-)

Marie, no worries. Let me try something. I will turn this reply into a story. I will then make images out of the PDF, and I can then post all the pages here. Man, it’s amazing what you can do when you think it through. Hold on one second, let me find the PDF. I just saw it yesterday.

Here are the published newspaper stories of when I started this magazine. I preceded e-Harmony and gained more traction than Match.com.

Page 2 of the Virginia Pilot newspaper article on me and Singles Magazine, the publication I created, owned, and operated while I was still in the United States Navy. Fun times!
This article was in a different local newspaper in the Norfolk, VA area. The name of that newspaper is The Flagship. It is a Civilian Enterprise newspaper that mostly covers military news, but with civilian advertisements. I published Singles Magazine at the same publishing company that published The Flagship.

The other day, I thought I would write a story about what happened to Singles Magazine. Watching Shark Tank all these years eats at me because I had something that was sellable since my ship had to go to sea. There’s a long story but enjoy reading about one of the original pioneers of dating and online dating. I was E-Harmony and Match.com before they came into existence. I was the Facebook of my time. I just wasn’t business savvy enough to properly monetize my efforts. Live and learn, right?
