From the Publisher;

As we close a chapter with Pulse, we always start a new one. With this issue we say goodbye and good luck to Don Thibodeau, our head of ad sales. Don worked tirelessly for us from the early years of Pulse and hung up his walking shoes for golf shoes. We wish him nothing but birdies, though we all know life contains a few bogies for us.

Don, have fun, relax and enjoy your golf and new free time.

We welcome Mike Ratrie as our new Ad Sales Manager. Mike brings us a background from AT&T, is an avid sailor and fast becoming a vital part of the Tri-Cities. You will see Mike around the Tri-Cities as he assists you with your current ad and makes calls on new ad clients.

Thanks to all of you for your continued support.
