Thank you for a wonderful article- well written, wonderful topic, and a deserved insight to one of our community treasures-- Shaman and artist: Tom Jay - a real life hero and treasure- I enjoyed reading the entire article which for me as a scanner is a real tribute to the writer!!! thanks for being so articulate and writing such a lovely tribute to both men and to our community--

I remember years ago visiting Portland Maine- their local paper was filled with local community human interest stories- why the high school girls was headed to Russia to study ballet- what 70years of marriage meant to another couple- I thought about that a lot and realized that is what is unique about local based journalism and the storytelling is so important to building community- a sense of place and a sense of WE. . . I ventured down to a local coffee/ bookstore and there was a special bookcase at the entrance labelled local authors and there were the names of Hawthorne, Daniel Webster, EE ***mings, Thoreau. . . and it made me appreciate forever the role of local newspapers to reflect back to us the best part of our community and who we can become when we value each other-- thank you to writer and the LEADER for speaking from their role as the commentator of our community. !!! renewed my subscription!
