The Clarkston News
May 20, 2005
Let it be known, That it is my special privilege to honor The Clarkston News on their Seventy-Fifth Anniversary. I congratulate The Clarkston News on behalf of all those who have benefitted from their commitment to excellence.
The Clarkston News has an impressive record of community service and involvement. Established in 1929, their first edition was released on September 23, 1929, right before the devastating stock market crash in October, 1929. Despite the difficulties of the times, The Clarkston News persevered under the guidance of their publishers.
In the late 1950s, Bob Wilson became the new owner of The Clarkston News. The paper began to grow under the leadership of James A. Sherman, when he bought it in 1966. Due to the commitment to journalism at its finest, every week since 1929, The Clarkston News produces quality news.
The Clarkston News not only demonstrates strong character and leadership, they have repeatedly succeeded at setting the standard for community journalism. Winning numerous awards, perhaps most notably from the Michigan Press Association. The Clarkston News has established a tradition of providing the most accurate news possible. The residents of Clarkston depend on The Clarkston News for their local coverage and important community events. The seventy-five years of quality journalism from The Clarkston News is impressive and deserves our sincere gratitude for their accomplishments.
In special tribute, Therefore, this document is signed and dedicated to commemorate The Clarkston News. May others know of my high regard for their service, and best wishes for the future.
