Staff Report on January 19, 2015
Remembering Bob Barton, Jr.

Can it be that two years passed since we lost Bob Barton, Jr.?

Here’s to the man who always believed in the freedom of the press, who knew the importance of community involvement and with whom so many had such wonderful conversations over the years.

Though the office of the Hays Free Press is no doubt quieter, life just hasn’t been the same without out him.
