My friend Dave McClure is the best baby boomer I've ever met.
He's generous, kind, and thoughtful. He's, also, a damn good writer.

Write Team member Samuel Barbour writes about the importance of small newspapers. I totally agree with him on this point – "Small town journalism is not especially glamorous." Thanks for the column, Samuel!
