Last year Rob Ingram joined the Skanner News as a blogger/columnist. Although he was very busy and his many responsibilities made it hard for him to write as often as he wanted, his columns touched on burning issues in our community. So for those who want to carry forward a little more of the wisdom he left us, here he is: Rob Ingram In His Own Words.
