It seems 2007 will end on a sad note...

Our condolences to Mike Hein on the passing of his brother Warner Hein, a Sergent in the New York State Police. Sgt. Hein was just 44 years old. Please keep his family in your prayers.

Also Jim Thompsom, long time chair of the Kingston Republican party died at 64. Thompson ran one of the closest mayoral campaigns in Kingston's history. In 1979 he narrowly lost to Mayor Quick by about 170 votes.
