The West Alabama Boys & Girls Club held their Alumni Reunion event today and it was amazing. The kids were running around enjoying each other, and the alumni members were sharing stories and catching up with each other.
When I first walked up, I was greeted by the welcoming staff and they were too excited to introduce me to the kids. The first thing they said was You re DreDay?! You re the guy on the radio?!! They were so shocked! Lol! This was all in between bites of their barbeque from Dreamland.

The news of Macklin Reid’s retirement represents the end of the last remaining connection to the Press’s golden years (roughly 1960-2010) under the ownership of Karl S. and Betty Grace Nash, and then the editorial leadership of Jack Sanders, a town treasure still today.

Letter to the Editor:
More than 40 years ago, a young man who had grown up in Ridgefield joined the staff of his hometown newspaper and began a long career of telling countless stories about his town.
When Macklin Reid started as a reporter in the 1970s, he wrote on an ancient typewriter, and then set about perfecting each piece with a scissors and a gluepot, cutting paragraphs here, pasting them there. By the time he turned in a story, his “copy” looked like a complex, pieced-together puzzle, but it read like a masterpiece.
