Issaquah Press
My summer internship at The Issaquah Press in 2013 gave me a good start in writing features and helped me find a writing workflow that worked for me. The Issaquah Press closed their doors in 2017 and their website archives are no longer available. I have linked some of my stories through The Wayback Machine website, where they can still be read.
Piloting Pandemonium - The Issaquah Press
"As the former pilot of a B-17 bomber named “Pandemonium Reigns” during World War II, Robert Ploss has had his fair share of adventures.
The 91-year-old veteran and resident of Timber Ridge recalls his adventures and experiences through life with captivating style, and a knack for storytelling led him to start a monthly newsletter at Timber Ridge, which he calls “The Splinter.” In the newsletter, Ploss shares stories, jokes and poems."
