JOY VESTAL, EDITOR-VP: A PORTRAIT
If you want something done, ask a busy person.
—Benjamin
Franklin
Joy Vestal epitomizes the
above quote by Benjamin Franklin. Ed Black "found" her. Somehow he
learned that she had had 50 years of experience working for Newsday, the Long
Island daily newspaper. What a find it was at a needed time for our Village
newspaper, the UCO Reporter. Joy and Myron Silverman now
coedit the publication, which gets kudos from all over, inside and outside the
Village.
I wondered how Joy would
handle being a UCO vice president two years ago. It seemed like a heavy workload. I
needn't have worried. She has done a superb job at BOTH tasks and loves what
she does. The VP job was not quite as easy as she thought it would be, but with a little help from others, especially Bob Marshall, she soon learned the ropes.
You will find Joy at UCO or
at the Reporter office, but just because she is at the Reporter doesn't stop
her from helping folk in her capacity as VP. Only yesterday I saw her at her
Reporter desk patiently walking a resident through a difficult time she was
having.
Don't let anyone tell you "It's time for a change" with Joy—or for that matter with any of Dave
Israel's team. They are experienced and dedicated and work very well together.
Finally, to Bob Marshall, retiring
as UCO vice president, thank you for your years of service to this Village,
including getting us through the hurricane years when you were UCO president. Yours has been a steady hand at the
tiller.
VOTE JOY VESTAL FOR UCO VICE
PRESIDENT ON MARCH 4.
