Mr. Laytner was born in Canada and began his career at The Toronto Star. After winning the National Newspaper Award, the Canadian version of
the Pulitzer Prize, he left for Europe and Life Magazine. He went on to Paris Match, The London Sunday Times, and was syndicated by the
New York Times Service. Then Ron Laytner went out on his own, forming Edit International and syndicating himself and a few other good writers and photographers.
