I heard, but don't know for sure, that Robert may be coming to NWA.

That's quite the revolving door they have going in the Bluff. How many have they had since Andy Hodges left in 2000?

Any news on this one? Since Hodges left there have been 8 or 9 changes. Its always been a stepping stone job. Some of the 8 were fired, some moved on to better gigs and some got out of the biz.

Andy Hodges. Now THAT was an interesting cat.

I'll shed some light on this one. One of the staff writers, I'm the other, was promoted to the SE position. The new SE is I.C. Murrell, who is a Pine Bluff native. I.C. currently is in the process of hiring another writer, so it should potentially be posted in the next day.

I.C. Murrell. Now THAT is an interesting cat. Guess the stint in Stillwater was brief, though probably understandable. Glad to hear he's back home.
