What Happened to the Guest Columnist? Anyone seen Joseph Thompson III...or where's Waldo?

The Lake Worth Trib's very first issue arrived (always free of course), on January 16, 2015 here in the City. That is just a mere 6 weeks ago. It was that very first 'newspaper', Vol. 1/Issue 1, that featured the infamous restaurant review by Joseph Thompson III. He never did write another review for Ms. Menge and you can read why here.

On February 6, Ms. Menge, the papers only publisher, writer, secretary, photographer, editor and reporter, featured a "Guest Column" by a local realtor in Lake Worth and he penned another Guest Column on February 13. Both of these columns were cogent and sensible, unlike the rest of the content. You can read here an excerpt from the Guest Column on 2/13; an excellent analysis on why businessmen and women should consider the City of Lake Worth for new business opportunities.

The last issue, Vol. 1/Issue 6? No more Guest Column in Ms. Menge's 'newspaper'. Seems to be a high turnover in staff there, just sayin'.

Also note that somewhere between Vol. 1/Issue 1 and Vol. 1/Issue 6 that 'newspaper' lost its Account Executive also. I won't give her name.

Does someone have a problem working well with others? Lot of moving parts there, for sure. Or are they non-working parts?
