Renie ,
I was pleasantly surprised to find a copy of the Independent laying next to my mail box. During the early days of Gilbert’s growth the Independent was the newspaper everyone wanted to read. For a while it had had a higher circulation than the Arizona republic and the Mesa tribune did for a while. The Independent also play a pivotal role in the development of Gilbert not only in its growth issues, but its political foundation as well.
I hope you great success in bring the Independent up to speed so once again it can take its place as this community very own home grown newspaper. If I can help in any way just let me know.
Best of luck
Jerry McBee
