Erstwhile Editor
I spent 33 years in the newspaper business, editing weekly and daily newspapers in North Carolina and Virginia. In that capacity, I became addicted to commenting on events in editorials and personal columns. I also started blogging through the newspaper about four years ago. With print outlets no longer available, I started this blog to feed my opinion habit.
