George Garrigues has been a journalism professor and a journalist --- or, rather, a newspaperman. A journalist, H. L. Mencken once sniffed, is only a "newspaperman with spats." He is now retired. |

Garrigues is a native Angeleno.
He went to Centinela Elementary, Crozier Intermediate and Inglewood High schools, all in Inglewood. (He ran for senior class president at Inglewood High and received about three votes.) He was at UCLA for 3-1/2 years (international relations) but graduated with a B.A. in government from UC at Riverside. He earned an M.A. from UCLA, where he wrote a thesis on the history of the UCLA Daily Bruin. (It's here if you want to read it.) |
His mother operated a secretarial service, and his father was also a newspaperman.
