If you missed the note I tacked on to the bottom of today's Letter From the Editor, allow me to make a personal note.
It's the column I always dreaded writing.
Because it's the last one.
After nearly 38 years, this will be my last week at the Daily Times. I started in 1982. June 14, Flag Day, to be exact.
I will write more about it later this week, but since the word was leaking out there already, I figured I would get ahead of the curve and formally announce here in The Heron's Nest as well.
This is my decision, at least in part. It's probably not the way I envisioned it, but it is time.
I'm not quite sure how to wrap up 38 years, but above all else what I will remember is the people - both those I worked with every day, and those loyal readers who picked up the newspaper every day, or who now visit the website.
Yes, that includes those legions who were critical of my work, and that of the newspaper.
As I've written many times, that is the glory of being a newspaper editor. I am an equal opportunity publicist.
Know that I will miss all of you, but also know this.
What this newspaper does every day is vitally important. Please support it and help us keep that mission alive.
