John Dorschner was a longtime reporter in Miami and was also a legend for his work at Tropic magazine, a post that offered him a front row seat to some of Miami's most wonderful and infamous moments.
Along the way, he has written stories from Haiti and Cuba, worked as a substitute teacher so he could write about the school system from within (deciding in the end that the kids would "eat me alive") and scored a 5 ½ hour interview with Fidel Castro.
He co-authored a Cuba history book, The Winds of December. Three of his Herald articles have appeared in college textbooks on writing. He was a Fulbright Scholar in Romania in 2001. Won two National Headliner Awards, a Green Eyeshade Award and a host of others.
Roberto Fabricio started as a copy boy and obituary writer at The Miami Herald and went on to be a reporter, columnist and editorial writer in the English language Miami Herald. He co-authored a book, The Winds of December. He later joined The Sun-Sentinel as foreign editor and senior correspondent for ten years, covering the fall of communism in Central Europe, the Middle East and Israel, the return to democracy in Chile, the "Contra" war in Nicaragua and the conflict in the Balkans, among other stories.
