As Glendale grows we get more people from all over moving here with new businesses, activities and festivals. Pan you camera (or your eyes) around ... it's a fascinating section of the world here!"
He continued " I would also like to take this time to thank all of those out there in the publishing/media world and those in the government and private sector that have offered me words of encouragement and guidance... I owe much to them and they should not be forgotten. It was you belief in what I was doing that made this a 'reality' ."
