Ben Moyer: Saying goodbye after more than two decades of writing for Pennsylvania Outdoor News

Except for an arranged recent absence, it has been my privilege to write this “Ridgelines” column for every edition of Pennsylvania Outdoor News since the publication’s inception in 2003. Our editor, and my friend, Jeff Mulhollem, tells me that’s something like 559 consecutive columns or, in a writer’s way of thinking, a half-million words.
In Ridgelines’ early years, the column examined controversial issues in fish and wildlife management. I often traveled to Harrisburg then, attended meetings and listened to reports and testimony.
