Noted outdoorsman, writer and outdoor editor Alan Clemons will be stepping down from his position as outdoor editor of the Huntsville Times effective April 30. He has taken a early retirement offer and will remain in the outdoors in a yet to be named position in the Huntsville area.
Clemons bi-line has appeared all over the outdoor press as a contributor for BASS and other publications.
"It has been a wonderful ride with an enjoyable diversity of people, topics, frivolities and the varied passions that help fuel the outdoors life. We are all attached by a thread of commonality whether we are catching a bass, calling a turkey, hiking a trail or raising awareness about conservation issues" noted Clemons. "Being a newspaper journalist is all I ever wanted to do. As a high school senior I pestered my hometown weekly newspaper editor, who was a friend of my father, for a job. He relented and my first assignment as an ink-stained wretch was Jan. 1, 1984, to write about the hometown star playing in the Sugar Bowl in New Orleans. Since then I have covered everything from city council meetings, “stick ‘n ball sports” and plane crashes to outdoors activities, a smattering of politics and other critter issues."
Alan has contributed to Wired2Fish on numerous occasions and is a great friend and associate to all of us here.
Good Luck Alan as you move forward in the new position!
