Sad days at The Mountaineer

Lawrence Mazza died Wednesday night. He was the publisher of The Mountaineer for a long time before his kids took it over. One of his sons is the editor, one is the publisher and one was production manager before she went on maternity leave. It's pretty sad around there. Today is the last day that Bonnie (who I'm replacing) will be working there, and there was a good-bye party planned for her for tonight out at Mazzas' cabin at Crimson Lake. They said they still wanted it to go on, so I guess it will probably be a somewhat subdued evening.
Tonight is also awards night at the high school. Grace and Sam are both receiving awards so I guess we'll skip out on the party to go to awards, then back out to the lake. Sam says he doesn't want to go to awards night, but Grace does.
Where is everybody? We haven't heard from some of you for a while.

I didnt' mean to say one of the sons is on maternity leave. Must proof-read these things before I hit post.

It's sad to hear about the death at the paper-guess the party will not be a lot of laughs. but it is nice of the to go ahead with it.
Congrats to both Sam and Grace on their awards-just keeping up the family tradition eh? Have noticed that the traffice on Family ramblings has slowed down-everyone must be busy.

He was actually a she and therefore a daughter. Turns out that every one of us was at a party on Fri. night - us at Mazzas' cabin, Grace at a birthday party, Sam at our cabin at the lake (we were surprised at all the cars there as we were onroute to our party) and Tim had a housewarming because he is now officially the owner of the house.
