I have said it before many times over the past 30 years, but I’ll say it again just to remind you: Without your participation in this newspaper, both in reading it and contributing to it, this franchise of the First Amendment could not exist. This newspaper belongs as much to each of you as it does to those whom you trust to produce it. For this, you have our continued gratitude. We have included some of the more notable amongst you, in our cover image as a means of expressing thanks for this enduring connection. Live long and prosper, Courage —James Preston Allen, Publisher & Executive Editor
