For the past 35 years, Nancy Goss has shared the good news of Pike County with the readers of the Appalachian News Express, but she's calling it quits just a couple days shy of her 76th birthday. And those who have worked with her are already feeling the loss. Her shoes will never be filled. I don't care what anybody says, you're not going to feel that. Her experience, her time here, her community roots, she dug her heels in here and she has earned this part of this community. Nancy has told countless stories of weddings, funerals and accomplishments. And after 35 years of looking for stories to tell, she says giving it up won't be easy. I know I will never drive down a road or a street and not be looking for the yard and I won't meet people and not want to do a story. Writing the stories was only part of Nancy's job. Her true strength is how she got the people she interviewed to open up and share their stories. You have to be a good listener and you do have to ask a lot of questions. And you have to be approachable, you can't walk in there and make them think that you think you're something because you're from the newspaper, you just have to be their next door neighbor and just talk to them. Throughout the week, friends and former coworkers have stopped by to retell old stories and congratulate her on a successful career. And when I asked Nancy Goss how she would sum up the last 35 years, this was her answer. You made people for one day like a celebrity. There are people out there who talk to you and now they've got that paper hung up on the wall or in a scrapbook or something and you did that and that's pretty neat. Reporting in Pikeville for EKB News, I'm Shannon Deskins.
