Factoryville news
Greetings, all! Before I continue with my column, I am reaching out to say congratulations to our editor of 20-plus years, Bob Baker, who has finally decided to put his pencil and pad down and walk away from his computer (formerly a typewriter) and retire from his invaluable career of bringing the news to the people of Wyoming County. I saw in-person how very dedicated Bob was. On deadline days his focus was incomparable, and he always got his stories out on time! I wish Bob a very happy, well-deserved retirement. I also welcome our new editor, Jessica Harker. I look forward to getting to know her as time goes on.
