Sioux City Journal

Five years and three managers later, the shoes no one ever seem to fill have been donned again by the guy who was such a tough act to follow.

On various occasions, in the company of friends who recognize the irony, Ed Nottle will make light of his limited formal education. After visiting a college campus, he once remarked, “If I’d  known college was going to be this much fun, I’d have gone to high school!” Self-deprecating humor is what it’s called. And, you can’t use it as effectively as Nottle does without a total fix on
both your shortcomings and the redeeming qualities that make them almost incidental.
