LETTER: Former Herald editor thanks community

THANKS: Former Herald editor salutes community

I have had the absolute privilege of being a part of this community, and of getting to know and love so very many people here. Thank you — from the bottom of my heart — for sharing your stories with me and the readers of the Bonners Ferry Herald.

I have cried more and laughed more at this job than any other I have had. I have shared in your heartaches, shared in your triumphs, and shared in your struggles.

I have made friends that will last a lifetime.

These last three years have been amazing — highs and lows. Thank you for letting me be a part of it.

I will never forget this experience, and will take all of these incredible memories with me.
