During more than four decades as a Lamesa Press-Reporter journalist, Russel Skiles has told the stories of a Holocaust survivor and the community-wide effort that brought a state prison to town.But those are just a couple of the many stories which Skiles recalls as he retires Wednesday as the newspaper’s publisher.“Those are just some of the more memorable stories – there’s a ton of them,” Skiles said.But now he’s looking forward to letting someone else take over and tell the stories about the people and activities in Lamesa and Dawson County.“It’s just time,” Skiles said about his reasons for retiring.
