I’m thinking 2022 is going to be better than 2021. Can’t get any worse, can it? The COURIER staff thanks the entire Claremont community for the support and generosity during the past year. We have met so many people who care about what kind of community we have and will build. The COURIER contributes to the quality of life here for our readers and the community at large, because being informed and seeking the truth count. And the COURIER staff will keep the light burning. With that…goodbye 2021…and hello 2022! Sunny skies are in the forecast. —PW
