Marking Milestones.... In the time that I've been at the Mason County News, I've celebrated two major milestones in my life. Twenty years ago, I celebrated turning 40 years old. Ten years later, I was roasted and feted when I turned 50 years old. This Sunday, I will reach another milestone birthday as I turn 60 years old. In our modern world, it's unusual to stay in the same job for any substantial length of time.
