While Hulon's been out fishing, we've been running around like headless chickens trying to figure this newspaper thing out! Just kidding. Hulon would never leave us like that. In fact, he desires to see the newspaper last through the ages, as we do. When he was approached by other buyers about purchasing the Lewis County Herald, I thought it was over for me.
