Farewell good friend of Hicksville. It really doesn’t feel like eight years have gone by since we first saw your name listed as editor of the Hicksville Illustrated News. As you can imagine, we didn’t know what to expect but were very pleasantly surprised to find not only an ace journalist but also a caring friend. We have watched you mature over the years and looked forward every Friday for your topical articles involving the community of Hicksville.
As a personal friend, I was so happy on your marriage and delighted with the birth of your baby girl. You have so much to be thankful for and I’m glad that I was able to be a small part of your life. I wish you Godspeed and the best of luck in your new career.
We’ll do our best to welcome Cory and try not to overwhelm him…thankfully he has the summer to get up to speed.
