Summary: Fritz Plous has worked as a freelance writer and journalist for the Chicago Sun-Times and United Press International. In his sophomore year, he discovered traditional music when he heard a freshman student, Jarvis Rich, playing a five-string banjo in the dormitory room across the hall. At Rich's suggestion, he soon became a member of the CFC, where he joined the board and was named editor of the monthly newsletter, the Autoharp. Fritz Plous currently serves as director of communications for a Chicago firm that leases railroad rolling stock and works to promote passenger-rail transportation and urban transit options in Illinois and throughout the United States.
