As we approach the season of Thanksgiving, I find myself reflecting on the past year and the many blessings that have come our way, despite the challenges. At Specht Newspapers, we have weathered changes and faced obstacles, but we emerge from this season stronger and more determined than ever. I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to the people who have made this possible: our readers, advertisers, employees, and the communities we serve.
