[All] FW: FW: Why you still can't drink the local water in Elmira | TheRecord.com

[Mary Ann Vanden Elzen]

I have an on-line subscription to the Record and read it every day. If I
miss a day, I can go back any time - even days later - and it's there to
read. I love my subscription to the Record. There are lots of things I
value about it. For one, Susan Koswan's articles and secondly, Leah
Gerber's. We were fortunate enough to meet Leah at a GREN meeting. I very
much enjoy and value her coverage and reporting. I recently emailed her to
let her know.
