A farewell and amen to 4 remarkable journalists

Dear D&C Subscribers -- The Democrat and Chronicle said farewell this autumn to four fabulous journalists, three of whom have retired from the business and one of whom has left for a job in which she will very much be partnering with the D&C. Saying goodbye to trusted and long-time colleagues is never easy, in any walk of life. My mind drifts back to the title of the riveting final episode in 1983 of “M A S H” – “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen.” As a young adult, I was among those who believed the show about life during the Korean War had lost some of its luster by its later seasons. Yet that unforgettable last episode reminded me and all of us how strong the bonds had been among the characters and between the viewers and the characters. Its uniquely crafted narrative brought the best of all those earlier episodes back into view, enabling us to cherish the remarkable memories and mourn in a meaningful way the show’s end. So it is with saying goodbye to these four colleagues: Marcia Greenwood , the New York News Publishers Association features-writing award winner in 2021 and a reporter who’s known what Rochesterians

New theater planned for downtown Canandaigua. Here's where | Exclusive

Sure, the building on Coach Street in Downtown Canandaigua that Nils and Amy Swanson are renovating is small. But the community theater playhouse the couple opened several years ago in Westchester County was smaller than this one. The COVID-19 pandemic, which ended their project after two performances, resulted in their move to Canandaigua. They brought the show with them. They are now in the process of renovating a small building that housed a dog-grooming business in the hopes of opening their small playhouse by spring. A sequel, if you will, to their opening act. Their Forall Theater Co. may fill a niche in Canandaigua and Finger Lakes region, as their stage and productions will be on a smaller scale than the nearby Fort Hill Performing Arts Center in Canandaigua and Bristol Valley Theater in Naples. "We'll have the most intimate space in the Finger Lakes, at least to start with," Amy Swanson said. A background in theater Both work remotely; Amy in information technology and Nils in shipping and receiving for a company that furnishes luxury resorts and hotels. Theater is in their roots, and both have been acting since their early teens. Classically trained, Nils said he's acted in
