It may not mean much, and I have only 250 words or less to say it, but from somebody who's outside of University academia and a next door neighbor living in Fry's Spring: Well done on your Jan. 28 Weekend Edition.
In quick reply to Laura Lattimer's letter to the editor ("Academical construction zone"), I only wish that Charlottesville was as attentive to city infrastructure as you implied the University is to its campus.
Roraig Finney's argument ("Dear Congress") for a letter instead of a speech addressing the State of the Union was convincing and spot-on!

To the managing board, your efforts were goal, met and scored! At least from the way I see, anyhow.
What a way to go out, 121st staff, on your publication "sign-off." A thank you seems so insufficient to say but retirement is no longer met much with gold watches.
As for the 122nd, best regards following such a tough act. My challenge remains following as a reader.
