My husband and I have had a long history with The Tribune. We have both read it for as long as we can remember. Two of our children had paper routes from ages 12 to 16. As a family, we got up at 4:30 a.m., folded papers, piled into our van and made sure every customer had a paper on their porch by the time they woke up. That was 28 years ago. They learned work ethic and money management skills that have carried them through to this day.

A few years ago, we started to feel uncomfortable with the environmental consequences of taking a physical newspaper, so we made the choice to go digital. It was hard for my husband, since he is not a computer user but, bless his heart, he learned. Today, The Tribune is as much of our morning as it ever was. We get up, he logs on to the desktop and I log on to the laptop, and we read until we get to the last page. As a bonus, we can now get The Tribune anywhere we go. Whether we’re visiting our daughter in Montana or taking our trailer to places around the country, our morning is still the same. It starts with The Tribune. We plan to continue having a long history with The Tribune. Keep up the good work!
