Today was my last day at Gazette Communications. Tomorrow morning Mimi and I will start our drive to Virginia, weather permitting, for my new adventure with Allbritton Communications.
This will be the fourth time I’ve bid farewell to Iowa. This state will always be special to me. I’ve spent more than 14 years working for three different newspapers in Iowa, and spent a lot of time over here in the 10 years I worked for the Omaha World-Herald.
I will cherish many memories of my time at the Gaz. All the best to the many colleagues, supporters and even critics I encountered during my time in Eastern Iowa.

Good Luck out there…enjoy the crabs, take care.

Thanks for everything, Steve — your insight and your willingness to strive for a newsgathering and delivery model outside the bounds.
Best wishes for continued success with Allbritton. I suspect you’ll immediately raise some concerns among the legacy products in D.C. And give a wave as you pass by Dupont Circle — my apartment was just off the circle when I interned in the capitol city.
Take care!
