Editor's Report.
By Steve Hudson
Man, I hate saying goodbyes.
As you've probably figured out by now, this is the last issue of Dixie Contractor. The parent company has decided to go in other directions, and the result is that this magazine will be no more.
That hurts. I grew up with Dixie Contractor; in fact, some of my very earliest memories are of looking at the magazine. My daddy would bring it home, and as a little boy I'd look at the pictures long before I knew what the words themselves had to say.
Well, for the last quarter century or so -- for just about half my life, so far -- I've been the one who's put those words together.
I've enjoyed the journalistic part of it, of course.
But most of all I've enjoyed you guys, my buddies, my friends. It's hard to find good people, really and truly good people, and good people are what I've found everywhere I've gone as editor of Dixie Contractor.
