Lynn Thompson leaving KPC, sadly (but hopefully not for long)

Many of The Herald Republican's and KPC Media's readers have come to enjoy the writing of reporter Lynn Thompson. What many probably do not know is that Lynn is with the Indiana National Guard (even though he lives in Ohio). Lynn has reported for duty off and on during his time with us, but now, unfortunately for us, but not our country, Lynn is getting ready to deploy to the Middle East in September.

Personally speaking, it has been strange telling a military officer of fairly high rank what to do, but I got used to it. He's a great guy.

If you see Lynn out and about in the next few days, wish him well and God speed. With the Middle East the hot spot it is, I will be thinking about him and his well being a lot. (I don't know how his family does it.) And I hope he rejoins us at The Herald Republican in a year when he returns.

We wish him well.

In the meantime, we have an opening. Lynn leaves some big shoes to fill and I certainly hope someone is willing to give it a shot. Email me at [email protected].
