This was one of those weeks.
Two of the top 10 posts on the Turner Report this week were about the Missouri Legislature's passing one of the strictest anti-abortion laws in the United States, while others featured health care, women's equality and laws protecting the LGBT community.
The old days at the Carthage Press
A couple of Carthage Press-related anniversaries have taken place this month and I was glad to see that my Facebook post reminding people about one of my all-time favorite people, former Press composing room foreman Jennifer Martin received enough visitors to make the Top 10.
Sadly, this month marked the 10th anniversary of Jennifer's passing, but it was great to see that enough people remember Jennifer fondly as those of us who worked at the Press do.
The other anniversary and it almost slipped my mind until I reposted my 2009 remembrance of Jennifer was the end of my career at newspapers. I remember my final weekend included coverage of graduations at Sarcoxie and Lamar high schools, two of the five graduations I covered that year.
I was fired on Monday and three months later, I was a classroom teacher, something for which I am eternally grateful.

The next signing for Lost Angels: The Murders of Rowan Ford and Doug Ringler is scheduled for 12 noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, June 15, at Pat's Books in Carthage.
