Retirement
After accepting my first job out of college in 1983 as staff writer at the Intermountain Catholic newspaper in Salt Lake City, I continued my journalism career in the Catholic press for more than three decades. In July, I’m retiring as News & Information Manager at The Compass in Green Bay. I announced it in an editorial May 20, and a story appeared in The Compass.
The transition will allow me to focus on my longtime hobby: photography. My desire is to spend more time exploring — my backyard, my city, my state, my country, looking for new images to add to my collection of photos. I hope to continue religious journalism, possibly freelance work for parishes and other religious organizations. Time will tell.
It’s been a good ride. I have met countless people from many backgrounds and life experiences. In the coming years, I hope to share some of the stories of these people — as well as other anecdotes and images captured during what was a splendid vocation: journalism in the Catholic press. Below is a slideshow of photos shared with me — mostly featuring me at work.
