The Eagle Flies

Got a great afternoon call today from Michael J. Marnell publisher of the Lincoln Eagle Paper. “The Eagle flies high”, he said. His enthusiasm was catchy as he recounted the success of the paper’s first edition. I would normally have been nervous hearing words like twice as many and next edition. From Michael I wasn’t, he has been in the newspaper game for a long time. He is in fact an ancestor of the publisher of the once mighty Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

What did surprise us both was the number of email comments coming from out of NYC. It seems that more New Yorkers are spending weekends here in the Hudson Valley and are enjoying the paper. Even better for me is walking around cities and towns in the area and hearing about my column. Keep flying Eagle!
