I turned 72-years-old back on August 20^th and people ask me at times how long I will continue to work at The Capital City Hues. As I look around the community, I see that most of my peers have retired and regrettably, many have passed away. And if I had worked for someone else, I probably would have retired with the rest.

But way back when I was a UW-Madison undergrad in the early 1970s, I committed myself to learn the truth. And still today, after over 50 years, there is still a lot of truth to be learned and discovered.

I also am very grateful that I work for The Capital City Hues that is African American, Latine, Asian American and Euro-American owned, written and read. As the seal in the lower left of this page, we are a proud MBE. We are a small, community-based newspaper that plays, in my humble opinion, an out-sized role in the Madison Metropolitan Area.

And the paper allows me to continue to see the truth, something that I will never possess, but something that is quixotically important to pursue. I love interviewing people because I learn something new every time that I do so. And it allows me to interview people whom I otherwise would not have met if I hadn’t been a journalist.
