Mary Kunasch, publisher, retires after 56 years with the Waushara Argus in Wisconsin

Mary Kunasch

Mary Kunasch, Waushara (Wisconsin) Argus/Resorter publisher, started at the Argus in September of 1967 and retired from the Argus on Sept. 29. She began setting type at the paper in 1967, worked her way up to production manager, and became publisher in 1985. In production Kunasch worked through the Justo-Writer/Varitype age, Compugraphics, Quark X-Press, and now in InDesign. The technology in the industry and has changed, but the passion for the weekly newspaper remains the same for her as it did back in 1967.

Kunasch believes in weekly newspapers as they offer something you do not get anywhere else. They focus on the people that live and work in the area they cover and report the school news and sports. The Waushara Argus has done just that and continues to do so covering five area schools, and local governments including Waushara County, the City of Wautoma, the Village of Wild Rose and the Village of Redgranite.
