Dear readers,
I have enjoyed working for the Ponte Vedra Recorder but have resigned as editor of the Recorder and the First Coast Register. My last day was Friday, March 20.
Returning to community news has been a pleasure, and I am proud of the stories that I and my reporters have done. As a journalist, it has always been my goal to serve as a community-connector, bringing people together through the power of story, and I’m glad I got to do that at the Recorder and Register.
I feel it is time, however, to return to writing fiction on a serious basis and that is what I plan to do from my home in Ponte Vedra Beach. When the current pandemic is over, and it is safe to travel again, I also look forward to getting back to doing some travel writing.
In the meantime, due to the fluid and uncertain nature of the coronavirus-crisis, Don Coble, editor of Clay Today, will also become acting editor of the Recorder and Register. He is an extremely experienced and highly accomplished journalist and I am confident of his ability to manage both newspapers during this time.
Thank you for being loyal readers, and I hope to see many of you around town.
Maggie FitzRoy
