Editor's Note
Turning the Tables
I’m the one who asks the questions. For more than 20 years as a working journalist, I’ve been the interviewer and, with respect to my tenure at Footwear Plus, it’s been in search for answers to help readers better understand the latest goings-on in our industry as well as to get to know the people behind the brands and storefronts. The selling of shoes is a people business, and learning about the individuals can only be of help. Beyond that, it’s fascinating to learn where people come from—literally and figuratively.
