As the retirement date of my Chief grows closer every day I have found myself thinking about her next chapter in life. Even though I am the PIO (I think DFO calls me the PRMistress) I am writing this sincerely as an employee. Wendy Carpenter…
For the first time in my life, I can see retirement approaching -- in 4 to 7 years, depending on when I take it (62 or 65). Or on the near future of the newspaper industry. I've been working since I was 14, beginning by…
