THANKS FOR THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT - The Herald Is Still A Struggling Endeavor, We Thank Our Writers Too

(11/18/2002)
The Hur Herald expresses thanks to those who took the time to financially support the endeavor.

Our fund raising efforts have been to ask for small contributions each year to help keep the project going, with money to be used to purchase equipment.

Sunny Cal and the central West Virginia region has historically been a "depressed" area, but many families have expanded their horizons by getting on the net by ever increasing numbers. Ready cash is in short supply for many of them. They are faithful readers and we appreciate them, and all our readers who make this venture worthwhile.

We hope you enjoy the stories about people, events, and history, life in the backwoods of West Virginia, and the the news that shapes the lives and times of our community. We have tried to report responsibly, worthy of your readership.

We express thanks to our contributors who write regularly for The Herald, like Jack Cawthon, Tony Russell, Suzanne Mazer Stewart, John "Captain Spock" Griffin, and Norma Knotts Shaffer, who works every day bringing history and pictures into the 21st century from the last two centuries. We thank Alvin Engelke for sharing his Creston News, his birds-eye view and opinion from his spot in the world.

We thank all of you who submit news tips and stories to us on a regular basis, and the Letters to the Editor which we share with readers.

If you intended to send a few bucks to us and just didn't get around to it, we'd like to hear from you now.

Thanks.
