You listen to me Mr. Big Shot Publisher !

Congratulations on the Clarion's 10th anniversary. No mean feat in this day and age!

I am proud to have made a small contribution over the past few years on some of your most thrilling stories: the Conesus Lake Rooftop Run, the Full Monty, and this year's Groveland Man blockbuster.

It is your uncanny ability to ferret out stories like these and bring them to the good citizens of Livingston County that sets your paper apart from all of the pretenders out there. Surely the Pulitzer awards committee cannot look at themselves in the mirror, knowing they have to bypass you and your paper for a more politically popular choice.

On the other hand, I live in fear of the day that one of the big papers, like the NY Times or Washington Post or Gates-Chili News would entice you away with promises of big bucks and the big city.

And it wouldn't just be you, oh no! You'd take Howard with you, so he could do some real investigative reporting in Washington. And you'd take JeanMeekin, too, so she could focus on national environmental issues, not just piddling little Conesus Lake. Yeah, and Sally Fox, who'd just love to cover the horsey scene down in Virginia; and Doug Lippincott, who always thought he should be covering the major teams!

SAY, JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, DUMPING THIS PAPER TO MOVE TO WASHINGTON! YOU LISTEN TO ME, MISTER BIG SHOT PUBLISHER. IF YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING TO GET AWAY WITH THIS, YOU BETTER OPEN YOUR F

Sorry, Mr. Strong. Pete's been under a lot of pressure lately and hasn't been taking his medication. I'm sure he really wishes you and your paper all the best and continued success in the future.
