I am inspired by the level of journalism this town enjoyed under the editorial direction of leaders like Dolores ‘DL’ Grunwald and Maude ‘Boo’ Izor. I hope to prove this publication worthy of the level of dedication and journalistic integrity they brought to our community.
As the long-time editor of The Germantown Press, DL Grunwald included a quote from a poem by George L. Banks in the paper every week. This sentiment will serve as the guiding principle for this new publication.
For the cause that lacks assistance; for the wrongs that need resistance; for the future in the distance, and the good that we can do.
