The latest issue of Scottish Islands Explorer marks the end of an era, and the beginning of another. After 10 years as editor and owner, John Humphries has announced his retirement. John was the third proprietor of the magazine, and has been at its helm since May of 2010. John acquired it after Jeremy Smith passed unexpectedly in early 2010.
Fifty-seven issues were published during John's tenure. The following image shows three significant covers from that period: the first issue John published in May 2010, the 29th (his mid-point issue) of January 2015, and this September's issue, his 57th, and last. I have a lot to thank John for, and was privileged to have placed 18 articles in the magazine during his leadership.
John, I wish you a happy retirement, and hope to see you yet again, somewhere in the islands.
