Greetings one and all... I hope things are going well for everyone...
By now I am sure you are aware that I have decided to leave my position as Sports Editor of The McDonough County Voice... my final day will be Saturday, August 6 - 15 days shy of 11 years since my return from the Danville Commercial-News in August 2000...
Many have asked of my future plans... while I am getting out of the newspaper business, I am NOT getting out of the reporting business...
I am joining long-time associate Dewain Hulett at the Tri-State Sports Report, an on-line publication focusing on area high school sports... in a sense, I'm getting back to my roots, covering and writing about H.S. sports - my first love...
the coverage area includes schools in west central Illinois, southeast Iowa and northeast Missouri...
after 19-plus years in the newspaper business (having first started at the old Macomb Journal in May of 1992) I simply felt it was time for me to move on to a different phase in my career...
While I am excited about making this move, I can't help but thank everyone at the paper past and present for their time, effort and cooperation during my time there... they will always hold a special place of appreciation in my heart...
I still have some vacation time remaining, but I am looking forward to the new challenges that lie ahead and am anxious to see the possibilities that await... I hope you join in for the ride...
SB
