Thank you, Richmond Free Press, for delivering a quality newspaper on a weekly basis.

Your paper gives readers much information we would not receive anywhere else. Many of the articles you share with your readers contain information we would not be knowledgeable about. There’s nowhere else that I know of where I can get this much information about our people in one place.

I know for a fact that your newspaper makes me and many others more well-rounded. Reading your paper encouraged me to get off the sidelines and be an active participant in public forums on various issues.

I look forward to the smiles I receive from others when distributing about 30 papers weekly. Some of us discuss what was in your paper that we had no knowledge of.

You definitely have a quality newspaper that has people looking forward to reading it weekly. In order to achieve this, you must have a quality staff. I would like to publicly thank them for their hard work and dedication week after week to ensure this paper comes out. I know that is not always easy, but you all deliver.

I have said it before and will say it again: Richmond Free Press, you are the eyes and ears of our community. Continued success and keep up the good work.

ERNEST PARKER JR.
