Back in the day, nineteen and sixty one, I recall seeing a picture in Life magazine of President John Kennedy beginning his day perusing headlines in major newspapers spread out before him.

I anticipate his reading this column and planning ahead.

It’s hard to believe I’m headed into my 19th year of working in the newspaper business. Over the years, I have experienced numerous events that have been quite humbling, such as back in 1999 during Hurricane Floyd watching rescue workers and local citizens put their lives on the line working diligently to save lives of others who were stranded by the flood waters. And that same day, standing on an overhead bridge, watching flood waters sweep a truck into a deep creek, knowing I couldn’t do anything to help that person.
