David Wayne Menefee is an American writer and editor from Fort Worth, Texas. After working as a journalist for the ''Dallas Times Herald,'' he has written and published several works about stars of the silent film era. In addition, he has served as an editor on numerous other books. His ''Richard Barthelmess: A Life in Pictures ''(2009) was named by the ''San Francisco Examiner'' as one of the Top Ten Film Books of 2009.〔Thomas Gladysz, "Top Ten Film Books of 2009," ''San Francisco Examiner,'' 15 December 2009〕 ==Biography== He was born in Fort Worth, Texas, a member of a long-established family among the earliest American settlers in Texas. The Menefee family is honored with an historical marker administered by the Texas Historical Commission. His great-great-grandfather, William Menefee, was one of the signers of the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico. William’s portrait hangs in the San Jacinto Monument in San Jacinto, Texas. Menefee started his writing career in 1979 as a writer and marketing representative for the ''Dallas Times Herald,'' working for twelve years during an era characterized by fierce competition with an archrival, the ''Dallas Morning News.'' In 1991, the ''Dallas Morning News'' bought out the ''Herald,'' closed the business, and within weeks, razed the building to the ground. Associates from the ''Dallas Morning News'' invited Menefee to join their operation, which combined their circulation with subscribers obtained by their acquisition of the ''Herald.'' Menefee took on leadership responsibilities with their locally produced version of ''Parade Magazine,'' for which he anonymously contributed many articles. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Menefee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
