What was the Timespicayune to me! At first in 1981 it was a Job for a young man starting out in life, but as I grew I could see a company like know other. One with a pulse. With so much of its city New Orleans living, working, growing, sharing hard and good times together. Now after 31 years of service I. Am ask to leave a place I would never given up on has did just that to its devoted employees. What does this say to the world? We know what it is saying to us.
With kind
