Mary Winter: Assistant City Editor Mary Winter earned her stripes reporting for the Wickenburg Sun and KSWW Radio in Wickenburg, Ariz., dude ranch capital and home of the famed Vulture Gold Mine. Winter's next job was at the Arizona Republic in Phoenix, in 1978, so long ago that the copy chief doled out stories by rolling them up, attaching a clothes pin to them, and throwing them like darts to the intended rimmer. She was hired by Cox Newspapers to produce the first Sunday edition of the Mesa Tribune. After serving as city editor there, she transferred to the the Tempe Daily News, in Tempe, Ariz., where she was named executive editor. In the 1980s, she moved to Longview, Texas, as editor of the Morning Journal in east Texas, and learned to appreciate fried catfish, barbecue, Pearl Beer and Merle Haggard. She came to Denver in 1986 as an assistant city editor, and later as Lifestyles editor and Home Front editor. She left in 2000 to become a dot.com millionaire. She was disappointed. She returned to the Rocky in 2003, and today happily serves as an assistant city editor and Right At Home columnist on Saturdays.
