WE EXPRESS OUR APPRECIATION TO THOUSANDS OF READERS OVER 28 THE YEARS
"A treasure trove of words and images." - Charleston Daily Mail
"A notion that it is very important that we laugh at ourselves." - Parkersburg News
"It is highly sophisticated story-telling and publishing in the best Mark Twain tradition." - Norman Julian, Columnist
"The PUBLISHERS WEEKLY, the national journal...would be missing even juicer stuff if it doesn't pick up on Bob Weaver's pickings." - Morgantown Dominion Post
"A flashback to early America writing..." - Cleveland Plain Dealer
"In the long gone tradition of early American publishing," - Charleston Gazette
"Honoring original people, ancient souls." - Huntington Herald Dispatch
"Longtime steadfastness and the humane sensibility you brought to your work and have showed us and the rest of the world how we spend our days, and in doing that, have unwittingly created a detailed historical record of ordinary people's lives, something in its own way as true and timeless as Walker Evans' photographs and James Agee's prose in Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. - Dr. Tony Russell
"Bob Weaver wants his community to sit up and take notice of what's happening. He wants them to value in-depth journalism, demand it, even, instead of just being plugged into Twitter's 140-character-limit bits of news. Most of all, he wants people to care about their neighbors, the people that make living in Calhoun County so great." -Jake Jarvis, Gazette-Mail
"Years of stories, local history, commentary and an outpouring of love for his birthplace by Weaver, a born journalist who published a newspaper that would have made Jim Comstock of The West Virginia Hillbilly proud. Weaver put his heart, soul and money into The Hur Herald." - Dave Peyton, Columnist
"I agree that you are a highly gifted writer. I also understand why he (brother) held you in such high esteem as a friend, selfless neighbor, and a humanitarian who has never diverted his eyes from another person without seeing that person's soul.
"It clear that a person who celebrated life should be celebrated in death. Your line about my late brother, "The very best of you, however, will remain with us, always" is poetry. And, you are right." - Sam Griffith, Longtime Cleveland TV Personality
