Mary & Dave: I can’t believe that I agree with both Dave Cahill & Del Dunbar. With endorsements like those, you’re definitely on the right tract!! Keep up the good work!! Bob

Mary and Dave: I have enjoyed reading your articles. How in the heck did you ever even find out about a group of Republican women gathering in this town? Nine years ago I went out on my own and it has made a huge positive difference in our lives. I’ll save you from the stories about the scary part of it. Good luck.

Thanks to you all for your comments. It motivates me during those four-hour county commission meetings (which I haven’t yet written up this week, by the way – one of today’s tasks).

Teacher Patti, I share your belief that Detroit matters to Ann Arbor, the region and the state. On a personal level, I’d love to live near a vibrant metro area – I wasn’t here when Detroit fit that description decades ago, but I hope I’m here to see it reach that point again.

My hat’s off to both you and Dave for having the guts to take on this new venture. It is really scary cutting the institutional umbilical cord. I really believe there is an intellectual thirst in Ann Arbor that will translate to a strong demand for this “paper” and the content you produce.

You set high standards for yourself at the News and conducted yourself ethically. That is why you have such loyal fans. Count me as one of them

Congrats and, more so, thanks for the sticking with it. I appreciate the focus on (timely) info sharing–you serve the role of the press in a democracy well.

I’m quite impressed with the continued high quality of the Chronicle! Getting a business started is hard enough, but maintaining journalistic excellence can be even harder.

Congratulations on your first month. I have enjoyed the voice and style of the Chronicle, and the range of articles. You are a whole other kind of publication than the Ann Arbor News, and I agree that we need many sources. The Ann Arbor News has become a quick read, but still essential in my mind.

I’ll keep spreading the word of your exciting endeavor, and hope that you are soon experiencing the financial support you would like as well!
