Hail 48ml Farewell
Thanks for the memories — a million of them.
Tomorrow, new owners are scheduled to take posses-sion
of The Herald, The Review, The Suburban Press, The
Conshohocken Recorder and The Valley Forge Sentinel.
We may take a vacation, our first in four years.
-Soon we intend to get down to serious business writing
\n autobiography and re-writing, "I Was A*itab«« Boy "in
Bethlehem."
Today's Weekly Review newspapers are the last we
put to bed. Tomorrow, a new editor will take over our
desk. Wre wish him well.
While our hope* were high in 1952 that we would
publish our papers the balance of our natural lives and
perhaps our children would follow in our footstep*, this
dream can not materialize. Perhaps it might be expected
that we would leave with sadness at farewell, but, re-membrance
of the grand times we have had and the dear
folk we have known and cherished so overwhelm** us there
is scarcely any room for sorrow.
For the various distinguished awards that have been
presented Weekly Review, we are grateful. Particularly-esteemed
by the editor is a life membership card per-sonally
handed to him one day by Samuel Januzelli on
behalf of Washington Fire Co. No. ].
"The fellows thought they would like to do some-thing
to show their appreciation." said the prominent local
Are company engineer. stnnrlinp; beside the editor, wim
was at his desk. "They decided to elect you to life mem-berships—
here's your card!"
Presented so simply and sincerely, the award tops all
other.-, including a number signifying recognition by our
peers on a state and national level.
And to our neighbors, the Conshohocken police, go our
heartfelt thanks. They are courteous, pleasant, efficient,
cooperative and we are glad we have had the pleasure of
knowing and working with them.
And so, with mixed emotions, we express our thanks
to the many other loyal friends who have «tood by our side
since we first went Into the newtnnper publishing busi-ness
for ourselves in Manayunk in Noveml>er, 1948.
