Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Recently, Larry McDermott spoke to the Tryon Estates Satellite Club of the Rotary Club of Tryon.  

 

In his presentation, McDermott commented on some of his 42 years of experience in the news profession, including 18 years with the Associated Press and working as the publisher of The Times in Bay City, Michigan, and publisher and CEO of The Republican newspaper in Springfield, Massachusetts — the largest newspaper outside Boston at the time of Larry’s retirement in 2010. McDermott also contributes columns to the Tryon Daily Bulletin.

 

His 10-year experience in organic farming with his wife Anita on 40 acres in Rutherford County after his retirement generated the most questions from an appreciative audience.
