Three weeks ago, I wrote a column for this space in which I decried the state of soccer facilities for the Clinton High School soccer team. I mentioned the shoddy field conditions and the fact that balls kicked out of bounds often had to be retrieved from the woods.

I had a nice color picture of a Chapman soccer player trying to get a ball from among the trees.

I consider Feb. 22, 2012, my starting day at The Clinton Chronicle. That’s the first issue to which I contributed articles. I can always tell when my anniversary is rolling around by Horizons, the first project that Larry Franklin had me working on even while I was still on board in Manning.
