Big money though.
Oh yeah.
What year was that?
Holy smokes.
Yeah, I just got married.
We're living in student housing, you know, and brokered in hell.
So that kind of started it all.
And then I started freelancing.
And the next three stories I sent to Outdoor Life were rejected.
I wrote one on Rock Chalk Hunting, and the editor, Bill Ray, says, that's a massacre, Zumbo.
He says, I can't use that story.
But this guy, Bill Ray, of all the editors, Sports Afield, Outdoor Life, and Field and Stream were all in New York City, right down in Manhattan.
Yep, yep.
Outdoor Life was on Madison Avenue, which was where our advertisers were.
That's what you think about.
Sports Afield was there.
But at any rate, Bill Ray was the kind of guy that he would encourage a writer even if he had gotten rejects.
You know, a lot of editors would just, you know, we don't want your stuff anymore.
But he was really a fantastic guy.
I could probably tell you 10 guys my age or less, most of them passed on, that got a start from Bill Ray.
