EDITOR'S NOTEBOOK

Historically there have been some great feats of longevity and everyone has their favorites. Most deal with sports or at least the ones that can be recounted easily. Today the author finds himself tasked with replacing a Ripkenesque-type icon in the publishing world. That's right, after 22 years as editor of Pipeline & Gas Journal, Jeff Share's retiring, stepping down, moving on, seeking greener pastures, oh you get the idea. Most of those publications have long since disappeared, but P&GJ has continued to prosper with the help of numerous talented professionals, including the aforementioned Share. The former Houston Post editor was a big believer in providing readers with informative content along with some direction as to why it's important.
