I Remember Him Like It Was Yesterday

My first memory of The Glasgow Courier was when it was published in the office located in the Rundle Building. There have been many changes since that time, not only in location, but staff and editors. And what a change to have colored pictures in our newspaper!

And now another change. I received a call from publisher Jim Orr the other day. I understand that this will be his last issue before leaving our community to return to his home state of Pennsylvania. Being a family person myself, I understand how nice it is to live close to family. However, we will miss you, Jim.

Jim encouraged me to do the Remember articles, and I will give him all of the credit for the catchy headlines and the pictures that often accompanied the article. Jim never got grumpy when I didn’t get an article to him. However, I will admit I did get reminders from him quite often in the beginning. So Jim, I will try to keep thinking of something of interest and try to get them sent to whomever replaces you, and it goes without saying it will make me think of you. Hope that your new undertaking in PA is successful.
