Last week's August issue featured an article I wrote myself on Stephen Nedoroscik the pommel horse gymnast who took the Olympics by storm with his adorable personality and Clark Kent Mems. This is the first article (other than my real estate columns) I have ever wrote. Mark and I bought the Sterling Meetinghouse News in 2018 and for the past 6.5 years I have been managing the content and the writers but never wrote an article myself. I was inspired by Stephen as many people have been and I hope you enjoyed the story. If you missed it, below is a link to the article.
