Enthusiasm ran high at a Greene County Republican fundraiser/campaign rally Oct. 9 at the Grand Junction Community Center. About 125 persons attended the event, including several county and state candidates.

To the editor of GreeneCountyNewsOnline, This letter has reference to a letter to editor published elsewhere from Ruth Naberhaus from Scranton and I thank her for it. How true it is.
