I had a conversation with a recovering newspaper publisher this past week who was in the newspaper, business journal business for more than 30 years.

People seem surprised when I show up at meetings. I’m on the board of the Navarre Beach Area Chamber of Commerce Foundation and have been on the board for more than 10 years.
