THANKS FOR THE PAPER

What a surprise to receive a newspaper at my door (and on time) on the snowy morning of Jan. 8. Everyone knew of the blizzard, but we didn't know of the downtown explosions and subsequent blackout of the newspaper building. As I later read of all the complications in producing that edition, I realized it was the result of dedication, ingenuity and long hours of work. Congratulations on a job well-done! And thanks.
