Monte Whaley
I wandered through several newsrooms in the past 30 or so years of print and online journalism. My footprints were left in Ogden and Salt Lake City, Utah, Laredo and Odessa, Texas, as well as in Sterling, Greeley and Boulder. I finally settled for a while in Denver, where I covered the communities in northern Colorado as well the transportation woes facing the state. I won several awards for my work.
