+ 100 YEARS AND COUNTING - As our newspaper company soon starts its 128th year, I look back at my 40 years at The Bee as a keeper of family and community publishing.

My family will be celebrating 100 years of ownership of The Amherst Bee this week. My grandfather bought the newspaper on March 18, 1907, and my grandmother, uncle, father, sister and son have each contributed to its proud tradition of publishing the Bee newspapers. As said by previous publishers, "The Bee is the keeper of the community news. We thank our readers, customers and staff for our 100-plus years of success."
