Publisher Ponders! December 2008
December 19, 2008
Here we are the end of the year knocking on our doorstep. I for one will most certainly be thankful to see this year come to an end! This year has been most difficult for me personally especially with my resignation from the town of Thurmont due to “irreconcilable differences.” My mom tells me when one door closes another opens. That I believe because I now have the opportunity to spot light the wonderful happenings, economic stability and great individuals in Thurmont and Northern Frederick County via the Thurmont Times. With a new year always brings the glimpse of new opportunities and change and hope. Stay tuned in 2009 for many new additions to the Thurmont Times already in the works. I have decided not to ponder this month but take this opportunity to thank all of our advertisers who consistently support the Thurmont Times, Our Town…Our Times…Your dedication is over whelming and the reason we can make additions to broaden our horizons. I must also thank all of my writing staff who contribute to our community as residents and also take time out of their busy schedules to bring us the most updated information nationally and locally which is what the Thurmont Times is all about, taking what is happening nationally and equating its effects to us right here in North County. So thanks Tina, Tim, Ray, Richard, Mark, Dave (bait) and Dr. Jonathon Bramson and staff of Catoctin Vet Clinic, and Larry Stouter & Company from Catoctin Wellness Center. You guys are simply the BEST! I love ya! And of course you the readers! Thanks for supporting and reading the Thurmont Times, the oldest published monthly publication in Northern Frederick County. Merry Christmas to you all and remember, Christmas is not about fancy gifts but the birth Jesus Christ, family and friends. These are our gifts. On that note, love you mom & dad! Oh, and Jerry, thanks for being Jerry! Happy New Year and I wish a healthy and safe one to you all! We’ll see you next year!
