The torch is
passed again
This edition marks transfer of ownership and
responsibility for the Rappahannock News after
more than 30 years from the Arundel family still living next door in Fauquier County to new owners who have long made their homes here and become respected members of the Rappahannock family.
The Rappahannock News was purchased by Arthur (Nick) Arundel from Sen. John Warner and a few friends in 1977. Since then, this county newspaper has become highly gifted with several great editors and general managers, among them Barbara Wayland, Anita Sherman and today by Mary Ann Kuhn who has immensely strengthened day-to-day news coverage and the reputation of this newspaper.
It is with special gratitude to the people of Rappahannock County that the Arundel family now passes the torch of responsibility on to Walter (Buddy) Nicklin, in his own right a respected journalist and currently publisher of the successful and highly regarded Piedmont Virginian.
We have full trust that he and his partners will now carry on that special responsibility and accountability to do what is right by, what is for and what is with the full trust and confidence of the people of Rappahannock County.
