Mary Kunasch, longtime publisher of the Waushara Argus, has retired from the newspaper after 56 years. Her last day was Friday, Sept. 29.
Kunasch began setting type at the newspaper in 1967. She worked her way up to production manager and became publisher in 1985.
During her time with the newspaper, Kunasch worked for three owners: Howard Sanstadt, Murray and Roberta Cohen of the Delphos Herald, and Pat Wood of Multi Media Channels, who purchased the newspaper in April.
“My dedicated staff throughout the years has made such a difference and I could not have accomplished what I did without them,” Kunasch said in the announcement. “It is the people in our lives that make the difference. My family has supported me and sacrificed because they knew I was dedicated and committed to doing what I loved each and every week, and I am so thankful they understood my passion.”
