Sometimes Ya Gotta Ride the Elephant

One of three books Ward has written since his retirement is about overcoming some of life’s annoying obstacles.

It’s called Sometimes, Ya Gotta Ride The Elephant.

One of the chapters has never-before-published details of Ward’s coverage of Ted Bundy, including an incident in which Ward’s supervisor at a Seattle radio station demanded he does an unethical and illegal ‘stunt’ in his investigation of the Bundy story.

Ward refused and the ‘stunt’ was assigned to another reporter. Ward began looking for a new job leading to his career as an award-winning television investigative reporter and news anchor.
