TKO Will No Longer Publish

Fri, 22 May 2009 01:14:55 UT

The Kingston Observer will no longer publish. The web site will be up for a few more days.

We wish to thank those who generously gave their support and had work to the endeavor. Our loyal advertisers, Royal Garden, Stinky Monkey, Clippership Insurance, We Print Today, PRFirst, Gypsum Specialists, and Sovereign Bank, brought the paper to you.

The word ‘thanks’ is inadequate when applied to the dedication of Dennis Randall, Judy Randall, Dot Mac Farlane, Jim Farrell, Susannah Locketti, and Neil Corcoran.

We thank you, our readers, and those who offered encouragement through the years.
