You might not believe this, but I did not meet Bill Mardis at the Commonwealth Journal.
I met Bill in 2000; I donât recall the month or even the season. What I do remember is that he wasnât with the Commonwealth Journal â having joined WTLO after finding that retirement didnât suit him. At the time, I was working at the Somerset-Pulaski News Journal and our general manager was doing her best to get Bill to start contributing a column â preferably in his inimitable Humble Reporter style.
