My wife was the news editor of the weekly county newspaper in the town where we lived shortly after we were married. This is also the county where we grew up. As news editor of a county paper, she was the primary reporter for almost all newsworthy items. She covered city and county government meetings, high school sports events, fires, emergencies, and other various happenings. She was also the face of the paper for many people. Whenever a group wanted to recognize the paper in appreciation for its coverage of their activities, my wife was invited. I tagged along with her to many of these events.
