This is how Roger Kendall  answered the "why" question at the 
League of Women Voters' noon meeting Wednesday:

1) The Alford family took on a certain amount of debt in buying 
the paper and it will take about 7 years for that debt to be 
paid off.  After the debt is paid off, the paper will begin 
building again.  At his age (mid-50s), he didn't consider it 
wise  professionally to commit himself to a holding 
pattern for that long.

2)  As a single person, he has found it more difficult than he 
had anticipated to find a satisfying social circle -- people 
who were both not employed by him and not  wanting something 
from him -- in this small town.  Often frustrated with his work 
life, he felt the lack of a satisfying social life all the more.

In short, time to move on.  League meetings (noon - 1 pm in 
the Appaloosa Room of the UI Sub) are open to the public and you 
might be surprised what you can learn there:  just how well are 
our county commissioners working together?  what's up with the 
Gritman-Pullman Memorial merger?  is Medicare going to be 
reformed? ...
