Ah to make an editor's heart go pitter patter....
Three cheers for @fromartz, a wonderful editor, mentor, and leader who taught me so much about journalism and co-created one of the best outlets for food and environment news. Onward!
Changes ahead for me and @FERNnews -- it's been a great run but you gotta know when to pass the torch. thefern.org/blog_posts/edito…
