Young writer to watch

The Miami Herald's Joan Fleischman reports that there's a new employee in the Herald newsroom: Rob Barry, 23, who clerks on the Metro desk some days and writes some stories for the Neighbors sections. We all know Rob Barry: he's the son of Dave Barry, and his exploits as a teen and earlier are still appearing in the old Dave Barry columns that are running in various newspapers these days since the column is on hiatus. Rob's website has pointers to his stories, and blog postings.
