It's time to celebrate the 78th Anniversary of the Telegram Newspaper. We consider us to be the Biggest Little Paper in town. There comes a time when you look back over your past and you just say Thank You. I know I do that daily.

I thank God for good health, vision, good family, loyal readers and supporters of the Telegram. We have come a long way and my heart just expands when someone calls and tells me that they enjoy reading the articles within the pages of the Telegram. (Yes, some people read more than the HOT PICKS.) But what makes me more proud is when an advertiser says, that they have a new customer that saw their ad in the Telegram. That is awesome. The Telegram is brought to the community by the support of the advertisers. We couldn't do it without them. So do me a favor, stop by the advertisers in the Telegram and tell them Thank You, do business with them or just give them a quick call. I'm sure they will appreciate it.

I would also like to take a moment to thank our delivery persons, reporters, administrative help and my advisers who have helped to keep me level headed over the years. I realize that having family who I love and who join me in our love of Jesus, gives me the peace that I need to consistently keep a smile on my face and joy in my heart.

As we move through the holiday season, we will focus on getting the Telegram News in front of more people. You can read the Telegram in print each week, online on your computer/tablet or on your cell phone.

Enjoy the holiday season with your family and friends and remember to always say Thank You.
