A Serious Moment:
Like a plant that flourishes because of its roots -- becoming aware of our heritage helps us develop a deeper appreciation for the present.

It is this connectivity to our past that led me to creating Bay-Journal. It began as my personal journal about Bay County for sharing my limited knowledge on its history with you. For it to be more than this -- it requires help from you and others in the community to be participants. I believe it is a worthy cause and a fellowship that offers a great deal of personal reward.

Join me if you can in celebrating the rich history we have inherited from those who have contributed so much to what we have today. Help me to create public awareness of their deeds, become a contributor -- it's work that we can all benefit from!
