Neighbor Newspapers' Employee Inducted into the Half-Century Club

Neighbor Newspapers' very own Ron Nelson was honored for his 50 years of service to the newspaper industry this February at the Oklahoma Press Association Mid-Winter Convention.

Being a member of any profession for 50 years is not only a personal achievement; it is an important milestone that should be recognized. That's why the Oklahoma Press Association recognizes the contributions of those who have served in the newspaper industry by inducting them into the Half Century Club. Inductees receive a handsome plaque and engraved brick in the OPA Centennial Plaza,

Congratulations Ron on this outstanding achievement!
