The challenges faced by many people this year will never be repeated, hopefully. My family has faced obstacles during the pandemic in 2020 like many, but nothing compares to those impacted directly by the life-threatening coronavirus. I know that Christmas will not be the same in our household, like millions of other ones throughout the world, but the spirit of Christmas that lives in all of us can transcend the miles.

I have been blessed with a wonderful career in broadcasting and journalism that has allowed me to meet some incredible people in Door and Kewaunee counties.  That along with a wonderful family that continues to give me so many great memories, even in a more virtual form.  My hopes are that 2021 will be a year that will bring us and everyone together like never before. I want to thank all my clients and news contacts for your loyalty and continued belief in NEW Radio and DoorCountyDailyNews.com.  I look forward to working with you again in 2021.

On behalf of my wife, Patti, our three children, and our precious grandchild, Henry, may you have a blessed Christmas along with a healthy and Happy New Year.
