Carl Hunnell

This Veterans Day, I’m shouting out Carl Hunnell. A co-worker of mine at the Source, a friend and one of my favorite curmudgeons (he’s actually a teddy bear and is quite adept at technology and Tik Tok). Carl served as a military journalist in the U.S. Navy Reserve and the Ohio Air National Guard. I’ve learned a lot from him in our few years working together and he’s contributed so much to our community through the years in his roles at the Mansfield News Journal, Richland Source and more. Happy Veterans Day, Hunnell!
