Change is sad

I am sad to report I am no longer going to be working full time at the Trumann Democrat. I know, so sad.

I have accepted a position as high school English teacher for the Turrell School District. So, I'm a rocket.

I worked at the newspaper for six and a half years and this change is hard. I really loved my job and as excited as I am about a new start, it is hard to leave my old job.

As of right now it is undecided if I will still be a columnist and write stories periodically, that will be up to my publisher, but I am still going to be around and active in Trumann activities!!!

Happy for you. Just wish you could have found something closer to home. You will be a great teacher!

Wow. Hate to hear your going. Whats the democrat going to be without Carin. I'm sure you'll be missed. But I completely understand your reasoning. If more people were driven by their kids, the world would be such a better place.

Gonna miss ya..

I am a former employee of the Trumann Democrat, during my time at the paper I was general manager, office manager, editor, paginator, photographer, columnist, paper deliverer, reporter, cleaning lady, and anything else as needed. It sounds like a lot, and it was, but it was fun. But most fun of all I wrote and will continue to write an award winning weekly column for the Trumann Democrat. I am married to James McClung, we are both lifetime residents of Trumann and graduates of Trumann High School. We have two children, Leah Elizabeth, 4, and Campbell, 2. I will begin teaching high school English to students in grades 9 - 12 at Turrell High School.
