Letter From The Editor – 25 Years!
– By James McFadden –
Life is a delicate tapestry that weaves us in and out of each other’s lives. Like the threads of a handkerchief, each and every thread, touches, each and every thread. That’s what The Independent reminds me of, the threads of a handkerchief.
What more can I say that has not already been said throughout this issue? 25 years is a huge accomplishment for any business but for a publication? It is rare for sure! Like putting a man in orbit rare. If The Independent makes it to 50 years? We’re talking man on the moon level baby!
It’s hard to find the words to justify my feelings right now, I mean, 25 years and I’ve only been here for one! ONE!! Like, that’s NOTHING compared to what has been accomplished by those that have stood in the shoes I’m blessed to wear today. It is definitely an honor and a privilege to be a part of this great organization. You’ll notice I’m not mentioning ‘you know who’ because as he has already stated, his name is all over and all throughout this issue. But, you know who you are, and I thank you for the opportunity to experience just a taste of what The Independent has accomplished over the last quarter-century.
So, as we move onward, upward, and forward, I/we hope you will continue to pick us up each month and visit us often at suindependent.com and stay connected to everything southern Utah has to offer us. Be a part of our tapestry so we can be a part of yours.
Here’s to another 25 years of success… you know who 😊
