Congrats, Mayor Wick

It was a pleasure to read Rebecca White’s synopsis of Ben Wick’s Valley ties and some of the history that has defined his life. ( “Wick’s Valley roots run deep,” Jan. 12)

The article presented interesting material while refraining from needless editorial commentary. Congratulations to Mayor Wick on his election, and thank you, Rebecca White for a fine presentation.
