The website for the Society of Professional Journalists, Fort Worth Professional Chapter, debuted Oct 10, 1999. Gussied up and on a faster server, it relaunched in May 2015. Many of the files created in that span — the history and accomplishment, the images and ingenuity, the fanfare and fun times — landed in a legacy folder. Looking for material from the old site?
