Bidding farewell to a great place to
Wow, this is really hard to write. I knew how invested I was in this community and in this paper, but I didn't know it would be this hard to say goodbye.
It seems like only yesterday that Peter Starren called me into his office to offer me this job.
It was the start of the most exhilarating chapter in my long career. I was equally scared and excited about coming to the The Record-Courier, but things really didn't gel until I got my "Dream Team" all in place.
Being able to work with the likes of Kurt Hildebrand, Joanna Reeves, Alice Price and Tony King, along with the wonderful people that make up the rest of The Record-Courier staff has been my greatest joy and I will miss them all more than they know.
It's very rare in this business to work with a whole group of people that has the same love of their community and their paper as you do.

AEP bidding for wind purchases in eastern US
American Electric Power said Tuesday that it issued two requests for proposals seeking long-term wind energy purchase agreements. According to AEP, the proposals are part of the first steps of the company toward its goal of adding 1,000 megawatts of new wind energy by 2011 and a "comprehensive strategy to address greenhouse gas emissions." The requests for proposals are for up to 260 megawatts of wind energy for AEPs Appalachian Power utility unit and up to 100 megawatts of wind energy for AEPs Indiana Michigan Power utility unit, the company said. The 360 megawatts of wind energy included in the two RFPs equals almost 60 percent of the currently installed wind generation in the PJM Interconnection, a regional transmission organization that covers all or parts of 13 states ranging from Illinois to North Carolina to New Jersey.
