I started reading the Prince George Citizen in high school as part of the daily social studies homework. In order to participate and receive credit for this, and due to the distance we lived from town, dad would bring the paper home every day from work for me.
Approximately 20 years later, I still read your paper despite diminished eyesight. The feel and smell (literally!) of the newspaper is the highlight of my day; from local and world news, letters to the editor, sports, and even the obituaries, I've read it all, cover to cover.
I was shocked and saddened to hear that the subscription service would be no more. I will have to join the digital world despite my "old-fashioned" ways. Instead of folding or cutting out articles of interest for family or friends, I'll send links through Facebook Messenger.
For the last seven years, I've had the pleasure of receiving outstanding customer service from our carrier. He arrives on time with our newspapers, with a smile, every single day.
He must have seen me bending down with difficulty to reach my newspaper and decided it would help to roll up the paper and put it inside the doorknob. I will miss his kindness and exceptional customer service. So, to him I would say, wherever your future leads you, fly high, keep smiling and continue being you.
Thank you, Prince George Citizen!
