Literally, hundreds of you from all over the county, state, country and even some world wide have called and emailed to express your appreciation of vanshaver.com and disappointment for it's end. I've been blown away by your kindness and support.

I think my favorite email came from an old friend who is a real wordsmith. It simply said, "aah damn". One friend suggested shutting down the web site was like if Rush Limbaugh just up and quit. I told her if I made the money Rush made and had the staff he had, there would be no secrets in local government.

There's no way I could ever respond to all your emails, so please take this article as my response of thanks and deep appreciation for all the kind words so many of you have shared with me. My appreciation is immeasurable. Thank you so much. 

I know with the end of the web site, there will be no real good source of information on local political and community news and that's unfortunate.

Let me say this. I don't know that vanshaver.com wont be back some day. But right now, I'm like most of you. I have a lot going on with a full time job, farming, mowing and so on. Maybe down the road, I may want to get back into the thick of things, but for now, I've got to take a break.

Again, thanks for all your kindness and support.
