After more than 40 years in The Gazette newsroom, I officially retired as of 2016. That is, except for continuing to contribute to The Gazette's history column, Time Machine. There are more than 300 of them with my byline, and 50 of them are available in a Gazette book, "Ties To Our Past." They are $23.95 at The Gazette Store store.thegazette.com. (You know you want one.)
