Some journalists work for years before they get their own column.
All Ezra Dyer '99 had to do was ask. Dyer has been a columnist since October 1999, combining that writing job with a staff position at CE Pro , a Wayland, Mass.-based magazine for people who install custom electronics, another of his interests. On foot, it's a short jaunt through the parking lot of a wholesale fish warehouse, through a train yard. The bottom line is that Dyer is making a living writing, though some weeks he barely breaks even. Take the week they hauled his car.
