Happy anniversary to the Herzogs. Guess who: A very special Bethel couple will be married sixty years next week!

John Manzi, of Monticello Raceway PR, Goshen Historic Racetrack and WSUL-WVOS ‘Bop Shop’ radio host fame, ambassador of harness racing and community-wide legend died last week. We will miss the man, the encounters, colorful stories and the trademark cigar. May he rest in peace. Our sincere condolences to the extended Manzi family and his many friends. (Funeral arrangements were not available at the time of this writing).

Our sympathy to Hildy Rosenberg, Erica Calleia, Elana Milano and the extended families of Edie Rosenberg Epstein who passed away last week after a long illness. She was laid to rest after services on November 1.
