By way of introduction, I am David Keating, and I live in the west side of New Britain. We have subscribed to your paper for the past 15 years.

I am wiring in the occasion of my renewal of subscription to thank you - and all your staff - for putting out a first-rate paper. In an extremely difficult year of pandemic, where misinformation has ruled the internet, you have been a bright light of fact and calm.

I have always found your reporting objective, matter of fact and quite useful. The Herald is one of the real treasures of living here.

Special kudos are in order for Justin Musynski, Erica Drzewiecki, Catherine Shen and Ciarra Hooks. Each one of them is an excellent reporter.

By the way, the podcast is excellent. I enjoyed the interview with the Bristol mayor and the CIAC Commissioner.

I wish you and all employees of your paper a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
