Happy Thanksgiving. I’ve republished with updates an annual Thanksgiving blog that shares why I’m thankful to be in Philomath. This week’s Mount Union Stories and a few news briefs have also gone online. As I mentioned here a few days ago, I’m currently on a week’s vacation, so news production has slowed down. I’m taking the rest of today off and all of tomorrow, so you won’t receive a newsletter on Friday.
Thanks for reading!
