Charles Pierce?
« on: January 06, 2010, 03:20:21 PM »
This might belong in the Superbar, but does anyone know anything about Charles Pierce? Deadspin.com is promoting his work (he's a blogger for Boston.com). In one of his first entries he says he is an alumni of MU, and points out that Buzz Williams looks like one of the Three Stooges - which is unfortunately true.

My mistake, here is the link to his blog: http://www.boston.com/sports/columnists/pierce/

Charlie was a freshman in the J-school when I was a senior in 1972. He went on to be a terrific writer at one of the Boston papers and penned a best-selling book about his father's struggle with Alzheimer's. At the U,.S. (tennis) Open in 1983, three MU alumni (Charlie, Mary Schmidt and myself) sat next to each other covering the tournament.

Charlie writes for the Sunday magazine of one of the Boston newspapers, wrote a biography about Tom Brady and had another book published last year.  He is a regular panelist on NPR's Wait Wait Don't Tell Me as well.  He is fiercely loyal to the Blue and Gold.  Hopefully he will attend the 35th this year for the class of '75, he normally hits the reunions.
