Edward Kinney:  

retirees/etc. are all great. Facebook and other media makes sharing community experiences just great. Im still cycling and at times on the great back roads I realize how fortunate we/I am to live in a place where quality of environment, quality of food, and of course wine, are so important. I have had many young people ask me what to do in coming out of college...I wish that Sonoma County leadership could focus on bringing more career opportunity so I could respond with something local...but so often I respond with that they might choose to leave the area and see more of the opportunities beyond SoCo...as I did and it was worth the experience...life is about the experience. But most importantly growing up in SoCo, including the Montomery High experience and the incredible human beings (teachers/staff I now most appreciate), gave me the foundation to have confidence to go out and explore. Ive lived in many areas of the country, had many career changes (which is KEY to succeeding)...and can say that life here is great! I truly hope that each of my classmates, and others, are happy, healthy, and full-filled in this holiday season and I wish each and every one of you the VERY best.
