We’ve all heard a few fish stories in our time. But Executive Editor Jonathan Katz doesn’t boast about a big catch during an excursion where he mixed business with pleasure. Instead, he used his most recent column to educate and entertain readers about Eastman Chemical, the Watauga River and rock snot. He also managed to sneak in a reference to a song by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Johnny Cash. Hope you enjoy the read as much as I did. – Traci Purdum, editor-in-chief
