Jim Guttenberg started The Eagle in 1998 to stay in contact with the community and friends after losing his sight, control of his hands and ability to walk, as a result of his military service. Any one of these factors would have been enough to stop most people, but not Jim Guttenberg. In fact, his wife named the newspaper after him, he is an eagle and The Eagle has taken on his persona.

Over the years, the, tabloid-sized newspaper has increased in both local over-the-counter sales and in subscribers. Subscribers primarily are from Brevard County, Florida, although there are subscribers across the country (in Canada and Europe, as well), who want to continue their ties with Brevard County and Florida, or who simply enjoy Guttenberg's outlook and reading his commentary on life in Brevard and in-general. His My Weekly Say column has been recognized for its outstanding humor by the Florida Press Association.

The Editor:

CHARLOTTE GOLDIE-ROSE LOUISE GUTTENBERG

Garden Writer - Cookbook Author - Romance Writer...
Specialist in "Southern Living and Hospitality"

She is sort of a "Martha Stewart with guns," as I think of her. She has nurtured two fine boys into career military men, all the while, spending a life-long career in the newspaper business and publishing.

She is a fifth-generation Florida native and is steeped in Florida-lore. She writes garden columns, loves to cook...downhome and gourmet and knows the most interesting trivia...an eclectic and interesting modern female personality, who defies all the feminist rules.
