To our readers:

Debbie Galbraith has announced her retirement from the East Penn, Salisbury and Parkland Press editions. We extend our congratulations and appreciation to Debbie as she steps away from her role. For over 18 years, Debbie has played a central role at the Lehigh Valley Press. Her commitment, her judgment and her steady leadership have helped shape the identity and credibility of the weekly newspaper group. As she enters retirement, we thank Debbie for the time, effort and care she has given to The Press and the community it serves. Her work has made a meaningful impact, and we wish her all the best in the years ahead.

We are pleased Lisa Weber, of Bethlehem, will succeed Debbie in leading the editorial team for the three editions. Lisa brings nearly three decades of editorial experience spanning daily newspaper reporting, technical writing, trade publications and digital content. Most recently, she served as a senior technical writer and editor at Battelle Memorial Institute and as a contract editor for Gigaom. These Lehigh Valley Press editions are in good hands, and we look forward to the work ahead with Lisa at the helm.

Sincerely, Scott Masenheimer, publisher

Fred and Elizabeth Masenheimer, publishers emeritus
