Welcome back, Larry
Mar 10th, 2008 by Dave Olson
The Salem News has a new features editor, and he should be a familiar face to readers of this paper and music lovers on the North Shore.
Larry Claflin Jr. worked for the News in the late 1990s, helping design our pages and writing about outdoor activities like hiking, biking and canoeing. We’re glad to have him back in the fold.
Our features pages are already full of local stories, photos and columnists. Larry’s goal — The Salem News’ goal, really — over the next several months is to bring even more of a local touch to those pages.
We’re confident that as a local guy — a Marblehead native who lives in Salem and is co-founder of the Salem Jazz and Soul Festival — Larry can do just that.
Anyone with ideas for or comments on the features pages can reach Larry at 978-338-2681 or lclaflin@salemnews.com
