A trip down Memory Lane: Click here for a list of mid-90's columns from the dearly departed Lakewood Journal
After enough of you begged, pleaded and cried for much shorter items that could be digested on a computer, and published more quickly, I moved from writing columns to posting on the blog. I did archive my re-election announcement here.
Columns 2006
January: New leadership: the return of Wayne and Wanda
January:
Personal New Year's resolutions for 2006
Also January:
