Change is constant

We have been undergoing some changes here at The Record. Some new faces are present in our office, and some familiar faces have moved on to other endeavors. Recent popular series have come to an end, and we do not know whether they will continue at some point in the future.

List Ott's column will be missed, but she may contribute additional columns whenever inspiration strikes. But most of her time will be dedicated to her new love, "Experience Quilts!"

Despite the many favorable columns we have heard about Kathy Taylor's articles on people in and around Odessa, it has gotten more and more difficult for her to find folks willing to be interviewed. So she is taking a hiatus for now, in hopes things will change when she is ready to get back into writing. If our readers enjoy the articles, they must also remember that the articles do not happen without the cooperation from our local residents. So if Kathy should come calling in a few weeks, please consider giving her an interview.

Staff training has kept us very busy lately, but the newest members of our team are coming along nicely and learning the ropes very well. In the meantime, please forgive us the sporadic problems or failures. We are doing our very best to keep things running smoothly.
