My almost-60-year journalism career began in 1964 on an overstuffed sofa in a Montgomery Ward store in Houston TX. With somewhat harder chairs waiting in Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky.

My travels ranged from the World Ice Skating Championships in Czechoslovakia to Loretta Lynn's homeplace way up Butcher Hollar KY to interviewing Muhammad Ali in his mother's Louisville house to a Southern Indiana nudist colony.

Bob Hill has won many awards for his writing, including the Ernie Pyle Legacy Award, which recognizes the ability to connect with people and tell their stories. Hill did that for 33 years in 4,000 columns he wrote for the Louisville Times and Courier Journal, and in the ten books he has authored.

He is the author of the best seller Double Jeopardy, An Electrifying True Story of Senseless Cruelty, Murderous Rage, and Justice Miscarried.

OUT HERE gives us great insight into a storyteller that speaks from the heart and the soul of real America.
