David and April Hihoo Sykes, Publishers Goodbye, It's been a week of farewells and homecomings. Farewell to Harold and Carol Kerr and family. Harold, Morrow County Extension agent for the past twelve years, was one of the first people we met when we came to Morrow County. He called us up to welcome us to the community tne first week we were in town. He took David on a tour of the area and introduced him to local ranchers. Welcome home to the 52 American hostages held in Iran the t past 444 days. Their captivity and release touched many in the community so deeply that it brought tears to their eyes. Welcome to President Ronald Reagan - in a homecoming of sorts. Our thoughts join those of many others in hopes the next four years will be a homecoming of prosperity, stability and pride in the U.S. Goodbye, hello, best wishes.
