A little<br />
It is an absolute joy bit<br />
about for<br />
us...<br />
to tell you<br />
about what is going on<br />
in <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong>!<br />
So, we thought we’d turn the tables.<br />
// karen hanger<br />
publisher<br />
// hometown: Marengo, Ind. (I’ve<br />
lived within a 30-mile radius my<br />
entire life.<br />
// what made you interested in SIL?<br />
I was born with ink in my blood. My<br />
great-grandparents owned a community<br />
newspaper, my grandfather<br />
was an editor, my mother was an<br />
editor and my father was a printer. I<br />
cut my teeth on a linotype (hot metal<br />
type), so when I left my job of 30<br />
years in newspapers I wanted to do<br />
something in publishing ... I lived it,<br />
I breathed it, I loved it. It would allow<br />
me to have a flexible schedule to<br />
spend more time with my family. It<br />
would give me the freedom to attend<br />
my grandchildren’s recitals, games<br />
and school programs.<br />
// the best part about living here?<br />
The caring, loving people.<br />

// favorite part of working with<br />
SIL? I don’t really fancy myself<br />
a “journalist,” as I have no training<br />
and little experience, but I<br />
thoroughly enjoy meeting people<br />
and hearing their stories. In a<br />
year, I have been to so many great<br />
places and met so many wonderful<br />
people that I might never have had<br />
the privilege of meeting otherwise.<br />

Jeff. Dog, Murfie. I’m one of five<br />
siblings, including an identical<br />
twin sister. My family lives all over<br />
the globe so we don’t see each other<br />
nearly as often as we’d like.<br />
// favorite part of working with<br />
SIL? Working with Karen and Sam<br />
is the best. We are a great team,<br />
and I love watching the magazine<br />
get better with every publication,<br />
thanks to our readers, writers and<br />
advertisers. I’ve enjoyed learning<br />
more about <strong>Southern</strong> <strong>Indiana</strong>. My<br />
husband is from Louisville, but I<br />
had never ventured across the river.
