I would like to congratulate Steve Blank of Blank Slate Media for taking on a sixth newspaper, which is The Port Washington Times.
I had discovered your newspapers when my company Northeast Plumbing moved from Great Neck into Mineola and I started reading the Williston Times, about four years ago.
I then discovered the owner of the paper was Steve Blank.
When Steve Blank was the publisher of the Times/Ledger, I had been writing letters to the editor for about 10 years.
As always Steve Blank had produced local newspapers that have been quite informative, community-oriented, not to mention always having very hard working reporters over the years.
Steve Blank, I would like to praise you for producing such great papers that are very colorful and exhibits great concern for the local community groups.
Let me also add that you have great editorial pages.
I myself would like to thank you for publishing my opinions and helping me to get the point across on various subjects that I and others feel strongly about. And especially the letter I wrote about my homelessness, which I received a most kind letter from one of your readers.
In closing let me wish you success in your latest endeavor. And maybe someday I could meet you and tell you, Kudos for a job well done.
Frederick R. Bedell Jr.
