Doug Larson

Doug Larson, according to Sam G. Riley's Biographical Dictionary of American Newspaper Columnists, wrote a daily column for the Green Bay Press-Gazette and a weekly column for the Door County Advocate — both Wisconsin-based newspapers. The column was syndicated through United Media under the title "Senator Soaper Says"; Larson took over authorship in 1980. Previously, it had been written by Bill Vaughn of the Kansas City Star.

Born in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin in 1926, Larson worked his way through the ranks of the Green Bay Press-Gazette from copy editor to make up editor, state editor and city editor.
