Poetry by Nancy Jong. In loving memory of Michael Durand.

I am sad to say that on Saturday, May 30, Michael Durand peacefully passed away after 70 years of life. He will be dearly missed... He has been an incredible mentor, friend and teacher to me and so many other young journalists. I will always be grateful for the time we spent together and truly touched by the opportunities he has given me.

Congratulations to the organizers of this year’s Lunar New Year Night Market and Parade held on Saturday, Feb. 7 on Outer Balboa Street. It was a fabulous event that drew more than 5,000 neighbors and friends to the gathering. The weather cooperated, which made the afternoon and evening truly lovely.

All of us at the Richmond Review are truly thankful for our community’s support.

All of us at the Sunset Beacon are truly thankful for our community’s support.
