Alumni Features

My name is Don Wittenberger, and I’m one of WWU’s original journalism students. After spending two years at the University of Missouri School of Journalism, and working as an (unpaid) student reporter for MU’s teaching newspaper, the Columbia Missourian, I came west and worked for the Bellingham Herald in 1967-1968 under then-editor Bill Fowler, alongside a newsroom staff that included George Boynton, Jack Carver, Huntley Gordon, and Jack Mayne.
