Don Gronning retires next week

NEWPORT – Don Gronning has had several chapters in his life, all worthy of their own book. He might not say that, but I feel comfortable saying anyone who knows him would. From professional bull rider to social worker, to horse riding guide in Hawaii, radio journalist and newspaper editor, Don has lived a life, and we’ve been lucky enough to have him live some of it at The Miner Newspaper. Don’s bylines, photographs and behind-the scenes efforts have been a staple at the Miner for more than 40 years. Now, he’s getting ready to start a new chapter as he embraces retirement. His last day is Wednesday, May 13, so we hope you will come wish him well at the open house from noon to 2 p.m. at The Miner, 421 S. Spokane Ave., Newport.
