Sadly, times are changing. People are more careful about stopping to help someone, and likewise, we are more fearful of those who do stop. It is sad. I ran out of gas years ago on the freeway. Some bad things were going on in our area, and I was really scared. I man pulled up behind me and asked if I needed help. I told him that I had run out of gas, but that I would be okay. He went back to his truck and put 5 gallons of gas in my car from a can that he had in his truck. He got in his car and drove away without another word. I have always been grateful for his kindness toward me. I try to help others when I can.

At last our newspaper office has moved to a new location. The building is 2 doors down from the post office and across the street from the Courthouse. Besides the news about our moved, I traced the history of our local newspapers from 1899 to the present.

Vanessa, what a marvel to still have the newspaper in your community that started back in 1899! America has gone through some incredible changes and growth since then too. Our city stopped the regular paper and it is all online now. It takes so much personality out of the paper , I find, when it is all online.

I also miss getting a real newspaper in print. I can't even find the Chicago Tribune in my grocery store. Good luck in your new offices.

We have bound issues back to 1951. Back then there weren't as many pictures, but there were more local tidbits, wedding announcements and engagements.
I'll be speaking to 5th graders tomorrow during Career Day. There are many different jobs that contribute to newspapers that they can consider.
I give myself 4 more years of work. My husband wants to take a long trip but I just can't be gone that long.

Vanessa you are so lucky your town still has a newspaper. My town out sources the printing of the paper and now it is about 6 page and half is advertisement. Miss having coffee in the morning and reading the paper.
