I probably should have posted this on Friday. Friday was the actual anniversary, 25 years to the day after I started doing a daily talk show on WMAY. So it would have made sense to post these reflections on that day. But to be honest, I wanted to get that anniversary show under my belt first, rather than tempting fate.
Mission accomplished.
So it seems appropriate to take a brief moment to reflect on a quarter-century of interacting with you five days a week before plunging headlong into the next 25 years. When I started on February 26, 1996, I replaced a nationally-syndicated show hosted by Oliver North. Yes,
Steve Schoeffel will move into the top position of the Sangamon Mass Transit District effective Friday.
The 4-year-old Schoeffel has been deputy managing director for nearly two years, though he has been with SMTD since 2015. Schoeffel had been the service planning and marketing specialist before moving to the deputy position.
Frank Squires, SMTD s managing director since 2012, told The State Journal-Register in September that he originally planned to retire at the end of August but was asked by the board of trustees to stay until the end of the year.
The board s vote on Schoeffel s hire was unanimous Dec. 21.
There was a special board meeting to work out some of the details of Schoeffel s hiring on Monday.
