When Indianapolis Business Journal (IBJ) reporter Samm Quinn contacted me about being interviewed for a Q&A session, I had to read the message twice to ensure I had it right.  I knew IBJ featured an interview with a person in the Indy area in each week’s print edition but never imagined I would be asked for an interview.

So, Samm and I got together and talked for quite a while.  Then, photographer Eric Learned came to City Hall to take some pictures.  It was only then that I understood this was really happening.

I was a bit puzzled as to why IBJ would want to feature a man, writing a little news blog and producing podcasts aimed at Fishers, would want to write about me.  Puzzled, yes, but also humbled and honored to be asked.

I suppose the backdrop to all this is the lack of local news throughout America.  It says something about the state of journalism that the only avenue to get almost-daily local news about Fishers is from a former journalist, retired from his government job, writing as a volunteer.

My thanks to Samm Quinn and the editors at IBJ for choosing me as a subject for their Q&A section on Page 2 of the August 2nd IBJ edition.
