Just Joshin'
I had a delightful walk and talk through the Tri-City Record with Karl Bayer, former editor and publisher, earlier this week. He stopped in, and we talked about just a few of the many things this building has seen over the years. There sure is a lot.
Old documents, advertising books, photographs, hand drawn cartoons from years past… The list goes on. Open a drawer, move a box, pull something off a shelf and there’s a decent chance you’re going to find something that makes you stop for a second.
Many feet have walked through this building, and a whole lot of people have helped make this newspaper what it is.
Laurie even mentioned that her mother-in-law, Virginia “Ginnie” Kibler, wrote for the paper years ago. I never knew that! It seems like every week lately I learn about another person who worked here, wrote something for us, or somehow played a role in keeping the gears moving.
Seeing in real time just how many generations this paper has touched is quite moving.
