Article: A necessary job worth doing: an exit interview with John Congram, the seventh editor in the record's 127 continuous years of publication. He leaves in August. (For the Record).(Editorial)

SELF: It seems to me we have met in this office before.

EDITOR: Yes, I remember it well. Almost 14 years ago.

SELF: Has it been that long?

EDITOR: Yes, you came along to interview me and to wish me well as I took over as the new editor of the Record. And to provide some advice and warnings, I might add.

SELF: So, tell me, how has it been?

EDITOR: I have been fortunate in life to have been given jobs for which I was overpaid and over-appreciated. Overall, that has been true of my time at the Record.

SELF: One would never know that from reading the Letters column.
