Goodbye, Friend

Goodbye, Friend

In the early 1990s, my college friend, Julie Hanssen, enlisted in the U.S. A r m y . While she was in basic training, she asked me to tape her favorite show, “Friends.” This was years before DVRs and streaming services. All we had then were VCRs and VHS tapes. I agreed, even though I wasn’t a fan of the show. Just judging by the title, it seemed so generic. 11/01/2023 12:00 AM

For Whitesell

Editor, The News-Gazette: Twenty years ago this November, the voters of Rockbridge County elected me as their commissioner of the revenue. I consider it an honor and I thank the citizens for the support they have shown me over the years. I will retire effective the end of my term on Dec. 31 and will miss seeing and working with you all. 11/01/2023 12:00 AM

For Clark

Editor, The News-Gazette: I’ve had the privilege of knowing Michele Clark for more than 25 years. I first got to know her personally as I taught her children. Later on I was fortunate to have crossed paths in her professional life while she was employed with BB&T. Oddly enough, the banking relationship (due to an unfortunate incident) carried over into her position of victim witness director for the city of Buena Vista. 11/01/2023 12:00 AM
