Thank you all for your support

My thanks, first, to you who are reading this. Your continued subscribing to the Weekly News is the reason this newspaper exists.

Thanks to everyone who advertised: The merchants, the large hearts powering the nonprofit organizations and their auctions, pancake breakfasts, concerts, craft fairs, theater productions and more.

Thanks to Jo Mitchelle, whose classified ad by classified ad perhaps was the paper’s biggest supporter.

Thanks to anyone who ever answered a question for a story, posed for a photographer, suggested a story or photo idea or sent something in to share.

Thanks to everyone who called or wrote with compliments or complaints over something they read. Thanks for paying attention and holding strong beliefs – and stating them.

Thanks most of all to Weekly News staff who wrote stories, took photos, produced the paper and worked in the office. My heartfelt thanks to those who volunteered, who appreciated their reward of knowing they were doing good deeds. They helped me immensely.

To all of you, thank you for the best 389 work weeks of my life. It has been quite a run.— Ken Stern
