Time sure flies by. It doesn't seem that long ago.

Congrats. again on the 7th anniversary of The Torch, a guiding beacon of truths for Ludington locals. I believe this group started as a result of Ludington's COLDNEWS not wanting much of their Ludington Talks program to be aired any longer, and also a Ludington Soup format that faded. Too many truths about city government was on these forums that the LDN/COL in particular, didn't want known. For 7 long years our Torch group has had relentless attacks to help in efforts to get us perceived as unreliable and untrustworthy. As most that view this forum regularly can witness for themselves, almost all information is linked with steadfast facts and information via FOIA requests, and that is truth. Thanks again X for your valued input and putting issues of importance before the public, and for your steadfast attendances to city council meetings that inform and give some hope for all of us locals that really care.

It has been one hell of a year! So much drama for a small town! You are a true patriot that speaks and shows the truth to all, Xlfd you are true activist fighting for the minority! Ludington is very fortunate to have you on their side, but as this year progressed we found that we need to be very careful with our words! Sad thing is that if you were not doing this us "little" people would not have a voice. It has been heard but hopefully in the future might be respected?

So I am here congratulating on an anniversary! Also here to wish all Torch members, lurkers, and Haters a VERY warm, loving Holiday, Christmas, Hanukah, New Year, etc! I hope all that see this have a better 2017 then they could have imagined! Pure Ludington!

Thanks all.  Keep warm this winter with the Ludington Torch aflame on your computer desk. 

Congratulations X on a terrific forum full of interesting information.

May the New Year be great and be more productive and influential for The Torch. Merry Christmas to all!!
