Letter to the Editor:

First of all, I would like to congratulate the recipients of this year’s Saranac Lake Distinguished Alumni Awards to Suzanne Tubby Batra and Aaron Gladd.

On Saturday, Nov. 9, we celebrated Suzanne and Aaron and raised money for the Saranac Lake Community Schools program. Community Schools is doing wonderful things for the students and families of the Saranac Lake School District.
