2008 Passes into History

As one of largely Scots heritage, I routinely think of Robert Burns' Auld Lang Syne each New Year's Eve. This blog is relatively new, but I already have fond remembrances of many kind communications from readers.

The majority of comments have concerned this week's columns on Brandi Lee Campbell and past articles on Keith McGuire. Overwhelmingly readers have appreciated these blogs and have added information for future columns.

I have also received many kind words for promoting the works of several local organizations and charities, many previously unknown to our readers.

In January, we will begin a series of articles on local child pornography. If you think it's not a problem in this area, you are unfortunately sadly mistaken. We will also list sex offenders by town, itemizing the charges against them, in future articles.

Thanks again for all the kind words and have a wonderful 2009!
