Thank you Mungo

Kate Ramsay, Goonengerry

I was sad to read in last week’s Echo that it contained Mungo’s last ever column.

I moved to this region in 1996 and have been a keen reader of his column every week since. His skill at analysing and informing readers of political goings on, both past and present, has kept me well informed and often entertained at the same time.

I’ll miss your column, Mungo, and am sad to know your health has finally dictated your retirement. However, I’m astonished and gratified that you kept at it for so long. Your last column was as sharp as ever – I’m sad to know that the rigor involved in writing so well has taken its toll.

Wednesdays won’t be the same up here in the hills of Goonengerry.
