Many folks in Annapolis, Md., know Jim Rodowsky as the paperboy. For the better part of five years, he carried The Capital on as many as four routes at a time, seven days a week - wishful of saving for a dream. Nowadays, having reestablished himself in Central Virginia, Rodowsky has stopped delivering the news, and started making it, as a nationally decorated speed skater.
