Thanks, Bill
By Michael O’Loughlin
New Hampshire News Links
November 7, 2008
For the past two and a half years, I spent Sunday
through Thursday nights scouring the websites of national newspapers for
the latest Presidential, congressional, and New Hampshire news for Dr.
Bill Siroty’s New Hampshire News Links. Last night was the final time.
I was connected to Bill through one of my professors at
my alma mater, Saint Anselm College. When I met Bill, he told me that
his years-old project of gathering news articles for a daily email
newsletter was maturing into a Hotline affiliated website, and he
offered me a job as his assistant. I accepted, and I helped Bill as his
site developed and quickly became an invaluable resource for national
and local political news.
In the weeks leading up to this historic and exciting
election, I took over completely for Bill. I began compiling the
national and local news and then publishing the links myself each day.
It wasn't easy, but it was through this experience that I discovered
firsthand how much dedication and work Bill put into this site every
day. No matter how many hours I worked, I knew that Bill would have
found a few more links. The time that he devoted to this service is
remarkable.
As I publish Links for the final time this morning, I
want to thank Bill, not only for the chance to work as his assistant for
the last few years, but for providing this resource to our community for
so long. I hope that he recognizes the appreciation of his readers and
of his assistant, and I wish him all the best.
Thanks, Bill.
