Dear Times Staff,
Please note the change of address as of August 1.
I am writing to tell you how much I am enjoying the newspaper since you have taken it over. What a great job you are doing. The layout is beautiful, and the content is so thoughtful. There is a wonderful energy to the paper now which is reflective of the people that live in the area.
My family had a real presence on Main Street and in the area when we lived there. My mom and dad had the TV/electronics shop in the Plaza, the first cable TV to people. The speakers on top of the bank still have our name. We brought 2-way radios to all the farmers so combines and trucks could communicate, and we had the 911 emergency dispatch in our home. I was on the DRS court and was graduation speaker.
Waitsburg was a wonderful place to grow up. I enjoy keeping up with the news and learning new names and faces.
Thank you for your great job.
Jo Ellen Watson, Meridian, Idaho
