From Moyers’s Facebook feed: Happy 80th Birthday, Bill Moyers! Here he is at 16 years old as a cub reporter at the Marshall News Messenger newspaper in Marshall, Texas, the town (pop. 25,000) where he grew up
A newsroom Royal. A lot of good writers started out on those.
Moyers went astray after a while, and got a divinity degree and ordination in Dallas, at Southwest Theological Seminary — but Lyndon Johnson had been watching him before at the University of Texas and University of North Texas, and snatched him up as a press aide.
You probably know Moyers from Public Television. Yesterday was his 80th birthday — he was born June 5, 1934, in Hugo, Oklahoma.

I never really became a writer, but I started out as a reporter on a newsroom Royal, too, right after college.
