Iconoclast #2: One year in

By Paula Scott
Bluffton Icon and Ada Icon editor-owner

On Friday, November 11, I posted an item noting that the Icon office would be closed for the day. It is part of my new scheme to schedule a few days off while the Icons provide fresh content every day. The item resulted in a letter that opened, “You FINALLY have identified yourself….” 

Perhaps this would be a good time to reintroduce myself.
