Mr. Joseph Jackson Editor
The Plain Dealer
1801 Superior Avenue Cleveland, OH 44114-2037
Dear Mr. Jackson:
I am writing to inform you of my continuing interest in the position of
Associate Sports Editor of The Plain Dealer. Your forthright expressions of
confidence in my journalistic skills and publication background convinced
me that I would grow and mature as a sports editor in the demanding yet
supportive culture at The Plain Dealer.
You will be pleased to know that eager and oftentimes perplexed sports fans
in Santa Fe read with interest the continuing negotiations among the
Cleveland Browns, the city of Cleveland, and the National Football League in
the 90s. Needless to say, I was enormously impressed by The Plain Dealer’s
in-depth coverage of all aspects of the momentous decisions that confront all
of the players in this pivotal episode in professional football.
A very interesting thing happened to me on my return to Santa Fe. Purely
by chance, I met Mr. Michael Doerfler, a retired gentleman who was a sports
columnist for The Plain Dealer. Let me assure you that he had some great
stories to tell about milestones in professional sports in Cleveland. He
regaled me with accounts of personal encounters with individuals from all
levels of that segment of society. I am eager to become a part of that
hallowed tradition.
Thank you again for your generous hospitality during my recent visit.
Sincerely,
Strobe L. Watson
