As many yesterday were ringing out 2024 and ringing in 2025, the community of Port Aransas was experiencing a seismic shift.

Our dear, long-time STPA friends and leaders, Murray and Mary Henkel Judson, officially retired, passing the baton of the Port Aransas South Jetty to co-publishers Kelli Hartig and Dan Parker.

We wish Kelli and Dan all the luck!

And, we offer our very best wishes to Mary and Murray as they begin their next chapter in life.

Congratulations!
