When my father died in 2011, I took on the task of cleaning out his office and storing many of his files. It was a tough thing to do, and so I just put things into boxes and stored them in a closet.
Recently, I took those items out of the boxes and went through them one-by-one. We are making a move into a new home and I needed to decide what to keep, what to give away and what to throw away.

Christian. Husband. Father. Leader. With more than 21 years in the media and marketing business, it is my hope to develop leaders and businesses that stand the test of time, thrive when others struggle, and give back as much as they take in. I am currently President of Specht Newspapers, Inc., and the Publisher of the Bossier Press-Tribune.
In Memory Of
This blog is published in memory of David A. Specht, Sr. Not only was he my Dad, he was one of the greatest leaders I have ever known.
