Congratulations on your 30th anniversary! As Dennis Forney wrote when the paper was founded, “The Cape Gazette is designed to celebrate the lives and times of the people who live and own property in what many people consider one of the most beautiful and unique areas along the Eastern Seaboard.” You have certainly done that and more. Your role as observers and reporters of our local scene is invaluable. You serve our communities with honesty and clarity, and we are fortunate to have you as a reliable source of information.
Many of us in Rehoboth Beach have read the Cape Gazette for all of your 30 years. We turn to you for important news, for entertainment notices, for obituaries of those we have lost, for local sports news, and for many other reasons. And twice a week, throughout the year, you dependably provide all of this and more. How many times have I heard conversations that include: “How do you know that?” “I read it in the Cape Gazette!”
I wish you many more decades of success! Dennis, Trish and all who came before you must be justifiably proud.

A letter to the editor expresses a reader's opinion and, as such, is not reflective of the editorial opinions of this newspaper.
To submit a letter to the editor for publishing, send an email to viewpoints@capegazette.com. All letters are considered at the discretion of the newsroom and published as space allows. Due to the large volume of submissions, we cannot acknowledge receipt of each submission. Letters must include a phone number and address for verification. Keep letters to 400 words or fewer. We reserve the right to edit for content or length. Letters should be responsive to issues addressed in the Cape Gazette rather than content from other publications or media. Letters should focus on local issues, not national topics or personalities. Only one letter per author will be published every 30 days regarding a particular topic. Authors may submit a second letter within that time period if it pertains to a different issue. Letters may not be critical of personalities or specific businesses. Criticism of public figures is permissible. Endorsement letters for political candidates are no longer accepted. Letters must be the author’s original work, and may not be generated by artificial intelligence tools. Templates, form letters and letters containing language similar to other submissions will not be published.
