Richert Offers Another Hartgen Story
Hartgen hired me in the summer of 1996 to work

It was also a jump since I would be working for a new publisher. I didn't know Hartgen too well firsthand, but after 11 years in Idaho newspapers, I'd heard enough rumors to suggest he'd be a tough boss/Kevin Richert, Idaho Statesman. More here.
