The news from the former News and Record writer…..
Too often these days journalists don’t get to go out on their own terms. But I’m one of the lucky ones. After 37 years at the Greensboro News & Record, tomorrow will be my first day of retirement. Thank you to all those who helped me along the way. @APSE_sportmedia
