Editor’s note: We wish our friend and fellow journalist Joe Zlomek a fond farewell as he turns the page and begins a new chapter in his life. Joe has been a friend to us and was very encouraging when we first started out back in 2009. We always appreciated his assistance. Joe is an excellent journalist and we benefited from his gracious kindness over the years. Good luck with your new endeavor!
