Tribute

It's a shame that the week before Christmas brings sad news but we are mourning the loss of a friend today. Brad Bradberry, the former publisher of the Evergreen branch of our newspapers and a former regional manager, died last night following a courageous battle with cancer. Much of what MetroWest is today is a credit to Brad. He took the helm as we transitioned management several years ago and then hand-picked a new management team, including our publisher, Karen Lambert, to lead us in a new direction. It was always a pleasure to have Brad stop by our office. I looked forward to his warm handshake, his encouragement and maybe a little doting about his beloved Georgia Bulldogs. It's a shame he won't get to see his Bulldogs come to Boulder in 2010 to take on the Buffs. Brad touched a lot of lives and many more than mine but it was pleasure to know him and work with him. God bless Brad's family in this difficult time.
