By Tom Durkin Verified| The Union Verified I did not see it coming. I didn’t even know I was nominated. I am deeply honored and humbled to be named Citizen of the Year by The Union in its 2024 Best of Nevada County magazine (March 29, page 11). But I didn’t do this by myself. There are so many friends, role models and mentors (most younger than me) who gave me the support, encouragement and opportunities I needed.

By Tom Durkin Verified| The Union Verified Getting fired is the Universe telling you that you’re supposed to be doing something else…It was late Wednesday afternoon at the Sacramento Business Journal in 1990, I was finishing up my seventh story in three months on an alleged racketeer contractor. Lee Wessman, my editor, called me into his office to tell me he was laying me off because I was the least productive reporter in the newsroom. Of course, I was. I was only a reporter three days a week.
