Kansas City Star building 1900


Papa started his newspaper career at the KC Star (age 19-20?) and he told some stories about it when interviewed 3/24/1957 by the Topeka Daily Capital.  Headline on the interview "Native Kansan's Career Packed with Adventure" and summarized as "FAITH, CONFIDENCE AND A TOUCH OF GOOD LUCK--Donald Lawder of Old Greenwich, Conn., has a way of making whatever he does interesting and dramatic.  He has been a newspaper writer, advertising consultant, copper miner, and for 29 years handled motor car advertising for The New Yorker magazine." (I'll get the whole interview on line soon).
