Let’s call πŸ“ž this one the story about an old guy trying hard to help out a less old guy who’s trying hard to fill in for a departed third Guy πŸ‘¦…

David Broyles was set to retire and spend the rest of his life with his lovely Bride πŸ‘°. We even celebrated his retirement back on September 13th at Cavalier Park.

Β  The common threads between David and myself is our love for our Wives and the folks at Duke University Medical Center πŸš‘ who take care of said Wives.

Allen Worrell left the Carroll News a while back and because the Newspaper πŸ“° business, where I have spent the past 50 years, is on its last leg 🦡there wasn’t a line of people knocking down the door to takeover.

David agreed to postpone his happily ever after for a minute or two, and I couldn’t just leave him there to drown. See, Allen Worrell had a skill set that allowed him to create a newspaper each week. I’m not sure if people understand just how much of a Skill Set it takes to do his job and that’s not something that David had nor desired to have, yet here we are.

  For years, it was Allen doing the job and David was his Plucky Sidekick, keeping his spirits lifted while writing ✍ some stories along the way.

Now, David is stuck trying hard to play the role of Allen, so now I’m trying to be his Plucky Volunteer/ Unpaid πŸ™‹β€β™€οΈ Sidekick.

Caring ❀ as much as I do about people and their situations is a double edged sword. David is tired and I’m tired so we are going to borrow from Eli Manning to solve our troubles.

Now sadly, if you don’t know the reference this won’t be hilarious to you.

We are going to go ” Chad Powers ” and bring back Allen Worrell disguised as Chad Powers. It’s a great plan and we have already placed the order for all of the make-up needed to pull it off !

Breaking News : Chad Powers hired on as the new Editor for The Carroll News ! Starting soon at a Main Street office 🏒 near you !
