A Loyal Reader of the Chronicle

BOB,
Barry had told me of your impending move, and for all the right reasons. Your "farewell" notice today is well done. I'm sure many of your local friends and neighbors will be sorry to see you go. Best to you and Carol.

I have been a loyal reader of the Chronicle, even though I passed through Copake only once (at night). I grew up in a small Western Massachusetts town, much like Copake, and I really got a charge over reading the articles, and letters to the editor. Small towns are unique, but they have many similar issues and problems.

Hopefully someone as dedicated and capable as you will pick up the job before you go. I think your exposure, travel and knowledge of the outside world brought an insight to this newsweekly which will be hard to replace.
