The Making of an Editor
In 1986 I realized I needed to finish the undergraduate degree I was supposed to have finished in 1979. My wife at the time, Terri Averette Banks, was art director at Pace Communications, a fledgling publisher of airline in-flight and business magazines. Terri had gotten me a gig demolishing some offices in the Pace building that were being remodeled. I was standing on top of a partition wall, busting up drywall with a sledgehammer when in walked Editor Melinda Stovall with a shoebox in hand — and changed the trajectory of my life.
