Happy Thanksgiving, Philomath.
This morning, we celebrate this special day with a collection of Thanksgiving memories from our readers. We sat down with Harriet Hughes to talk about the housing presence she’s had in town for the past 23 years. The latest BCSO Log has been published and we have briefs about upcoming dance and Vietnam veteran events. I will be taking today off, which means there will not be a newsletter tomorrow morning. The next edition should arrive in your email inbox on Saturday morning. Have a great day. — Brad Fuqua, Publisher/Editor
