Two times I have flown over the Holidays. Destination Tucson, Arizona - for upside down turkey compliments of my brother Michael and his wife Vicki.

The first time was just after Sept. 11, 2001 and nerves were high – my octogenarian father was pulled aside and his penknife was confiscated. The flights were long and drawn out and weary. It was nervewracking. I can’t remember if we were on time; the important thing was that we made it.

Fast forward to this past Thanksgiving, I was greeted on the sidewalk at Hancock Airport by a Delta rep. He took my bag and issued my ticket I had ordered on line...

I’m officially back to work after a Family Medical Leave that spanned a few months. I have to apologize for any confusion this created. And I more than appreciate your patience and kind words while I worked out some issues on the home front.

Starting Jan. 1, Abbey Woodcock, a very capable young woman, will take over as the editor of the Skaneateles Press and the Marcellus Observer. Anne Roth, a former editor of these two papers, will be lending her very capable reporter skills to our efforts. I will be moving to our city newspaper, City Eagle, but will remain as an associate editor with the Press and Observer.

Thank you so much for sharing your stories with me for the past five years. I have always strived to handle them in an honorable fashion...
