General inquiries about the Adirondack Almanack should be directed to editor
As the year 2021 reaches its conclusion, I’d like to take a moment to thank Almanack Editor Melissa Hart &all the folks at The Adirondack Almanack & Adirondack Explorer for giving me the opportunity to share some of my work with you, their readers. The entire experience has been an unexpected honor and pleasure that I never saw coming as I mapped my trail into this year from last New Year’s Eve. I have quite a number of plans, adventures and writing projects planned for 2022. Some of them fall within the Almanack’s Blue-Line footprint. Several, however, more than likely will not. Beyond that, who knows what surprise adventures and trails the year ahead has in store. So, with that said, I will finish with this; “Until Our Trails Cross Again: Thank you all for sharing the past year of life’s journey, and for reading my stories. Happy New Year!”
Thanks to YOU, Dick, for sharing your stories with us! We are honored to have you as part of these pages and look forward to more in 2022! 🙂
