I recall that the Sun was started by someone, unknown to me until I happened to come across "Timeswatch" (or something like that) which reviewed and commented on articles in the New York Times. One day, it stopped, much to my dismay. I felt that an alternative to the "Times" was a very important counterbalance to its power and influance. The author of the timeswatch site, Ira Stoller notified his readers that he was starting a new paper, "The Sun" to compete with the times. That first year it only cost a quarter. I bought and read the Sun every single day it came out. Then I moved to Europe. Thankfully, The Sun allowed internet subscriptions and I was able to keep up with New York and World events with a paper I respected and trusted. Since that time, I have remained a loyal reader and admirerer of The Sun and I wish it continued growth and success. My dream is one day to see "David" topple "Golith" and The Sun take the place of the Times.
Good luck to you Sun and continued success!
