Tony Traven Visits!

Our good friend from the old Shaw Newspapers days, Tony Traven, dropped by to say "Hi!" this weekend. Here he is at City Tropics, one of our favorite Indialantic haunts, where we got caught up on old times.

It's like they say about Florida: Sooner or later everyone stops by for a visit!



Tony was part of that great Northwest Herald team that set so many many circulation records and won so many awards in the late 1990's and early 2000's back in Illinois. He was our outstanding circulation director. Now he works for a spin-off company from the OAD personality profiles that were used to help create that great team. He's in business with our former boss, Bob Shaw.

Bob retired from Shaw Newspapers in 2002 after winning the Suburban Newspapers of America's Dean Lesher Award and securing Editor & Publisher's newspaper honor as among the "10 That Do It Right."

Tony and his wife, Robin, now live in California.

Tony has family in Merritt Island and Orlando and is working hard to build this new business. It was great seeing him again!

More later,


Mark
