As we started in on the prospects of a new year, we got word that the founder of this very magazine has passed away. A terrible start to 2021 for us on a personal level. Bill Bryson was a man we came to deeply respect immediately upon meeting him a couple of years ago to talk about his transition out of The Gateway Magazine. He was looking to sell it to an interested party, but he also made it clear that he’d just as presume shutting it down than selling to the wrong people. So, we knew we had to make an impression. Our approach? Just be ourselves.

We started this series a couple of months back, and, as a refresher, we thought it might be fun to, from time-to-time, revisit some old pieces of content that have lived in the pages of the Gateway Magazine at some point in the last 20+ years of the periodical’s existence. This will also serve as a welcome departure from all the pandemic prose we seem to have been typing up for the past nine-months… With that departure in mind and in the spirit of taking “a look back,” let’s move forward (as best we can)! In many ways, the industry has changed greatly, while, in others, it’s “business as usual”, where we’re simply looking to continue the grind and get ourselves from point A to point B in a job cycle.

This will also serve as a welcome departure from all the pandemic prose we seem to have been typing up for the past six-months… With that departure in mind and in the spirit of taking “a look back,” let’s move forward (as best we can)! In many ways, the industry has changed greatly, while, in others, it’s “business as usual” where we’re simply looking to continue the grind and get ourselves from point A to point B in a job cycle.

Reuters recently (on September 15th) announced reports on the manufacturing industry that showcased four consecutive months of growth following a stagnant, pandemic fueled period that marred the overall market for basically the first half of 2020. So, again, good news is we’ve seen more growth with data showing that manufacturing production rose 1% in August, which was preceded by 3.9% of growth in July. Numbers are obviously still way down across the board, but we’ve seen some recovery.
