I'm happy for you Penny, but very sorry to see you go. You gave us up to the minute Catonsville news, which we need around here. Good luck!

I'm going to miss having you next door, Penny! But I'll still solicit your advice every now and then. ;)
Good luck!

Congrats Penny! No one does Catonsville like you do ...

I wasn't a "Patch" convert when I stumbled on the site months ago looking for a site that reliably covered local news. And while I don't take advantage of many of the site features, I was always impressed by how well you kept us informed about local happenings. I'm sorry to see you go, but best of luck with your new position with the company.

To paraphrase Commissioner Gordon, you're the editor Catonsville deserves, but not the one it needs right now. ... A silent scribe. A watchdog guardian. A community journalist. Congratulations and well-deserved.

Rob, thanks for your honesty and compliment. Patch is here to keep readers informed and we're constantly growing and changing in this new media world! Hopefully at some point those additional features will be there for you to take advantage of when you need them! Glad you did find us!

You've done an amazing job with Catonsville Patch, Penny. I look forward to working with you in your new position!

Miss you Penny!

So after 40yrs it still hasn't been proven who "Deep Throat" was...........do I go to the Art's & Craft Show or do I remain just another face in the crowd........I guess we'll see!

I still hold you guys to a higher standard then I do the local news, lets hope the next person that comes along loves and respects the people of Catonsville like you have!

Congratulations Penny! You've done an awesome job!

So happy for you, Penny! And, selfishly, sad for the Ville. :) I know you'll still be around and an ear for bouncing off ideas - just like always!

So sorry to see you go! I have really been impressed by your coverage-you have anticipated our interests before we even knew we had them! You've given us the kind of reporting that enhances a community and makes it a better place to live. Thanks for all your hard work!

Best of luck in your new role, Penny! You've left Catonsville a better place with your efforts on Catonsville Patch. -Sean

Best of luck, Penny!

So once again someone does a bang-up job and gets a deserved promotion - that's fantastic for you but sad - sniff, sniff - for us.

You did scare me with the headline, though - for a second, I thought the Catonsville Patch was going away - my heart is not young enough for such a fright! Losing you is bad enough!

Congratulations Penny! It's been a pleasure working with you in storms, in earthquakes and in the press row at Greenwood. I'm not sure which was tougher. I know you'll rock in your new role.

Huge congrats, Penny! I'm glad you're staying in the family! :)

Congratulations Penny. I wish you the very best.

Congrats Penny! Will miss you on these pages. Glad you'll be staying in Catonsville—you're a terrific asset to this community!

Penny, as excited as I am to see your talents recognized at a higher level, I am certainly sad to see you leave the Catonsville Patch. I'm not sure who they'll find to fill your shoes, someone who puts their heart and their soul into this fabulous community, but I'm sure they'll feel the magnitude of the footprint you left behind. Thank you for making this more than a job, for becoming part of who we are, and giving us a platform to not only read the news, but allowing individuals a voice and giving Catonsville a place where we can come together. I think Patch has strengthened this community, making us even more tight knit then we were before. It's been a pleasure to work with you over the past two years.

Congrats & Good luck!!!

Good luck, Penny. Thanks for keeping us well informed.

As a newcomer to Catonsville and newly retired, connecting with you and Catonsville Patch was such a blessing. Thank you, Penny, for giving me my big break in journalism! You have taught me some good lessons and also given me a lot of freedom. I will miss working with you, and Catonsville will miss you at the helm of our Patch. See you on the wall!

Congratulations Penny on your promotion but oh, how you will be missed! In the brief time we've been working together you've been a terrific sounding board, resource and an enthusiastic supporter of ours and we will never forget it. I hope that you find new challenges and great joys in your new position and that we remain in contact.

WOW...what an inspiration you are Penny! I have always told you that you actually need the White House COrresponding Secretary you are that good. We need more enthusiastic and passionate journalists to cover real issues in real time. We are blessed with your commitment to our Catonsville. We are inspired by your relentless dedication to students and staff of our local school in this town. We applaud your conviction to getting the hard facts but doing it with class and composure. You are nothing short of our angel among us. Thank you thank you thank you. When you get to the White house...be sure to keep the 'ville on your radar...as we know you will. God speed angel! Peace-

Penny, Congrats on your promotion but I am very sorry to see you leave the Catonsville Patch. Two years ago when Patch came to town, CCBC became connected to three super editors - you for Catonsville, Ron Snyder for Essex-Middle River and Ron Cassie for Dundalk. Now you are all gone!! While CCBC looks forward to continuing to work with Patch to get the word out, we will miss the friendship and great support (and coverage!) that you three pros gave us. Keep in touch.

Best wishes Penny! You did a great job with the Patch during your time here. You will be missed.

Congratulations Penny, you deserve it :) You were always showing us other editors up with the number of bloggers and followers you recruited!

Penny,
Wonderful job!! You have certainly made a difference in this great community. Best wishes to you in your new position.

Congratulations Penny! Thank you for all of your help with the Relay For Life blog. I know you'll be great in your new position.

To all the bloggers, I'll still be helping out with blogging in my new role, so I'll still be in touch with you! If you want to keep in touch and you don't have a blog, then feel free to start one here: http://catonsville.patch.com/blog/apply

Best wishes, Penny. Thanks for all you've done to help promote the Oella Community Garden and Benjamin Banneker Historical Park and Museum. Hope to see you on the Trolley Trail! I'll be the one with greyhounds.

Your new position sounds interesting, Penny. I almost feel like I know you, though we've never personally met. I watched Catonsville change over the past 70 years, and never has it been as exciting as it is now. Your personal touch via the Patch will be missed by many, including myself. I'm happy you are not really leaving us; that you'll be out and about our special "little" village. I look forward to seeing you at the Arts Fest. The Catonsville Arts Group will have a tent displaying some of our artwork being offered for a silent auction. Half of the procedes will allow the group to have a tent at the Farmers Market. Hope you and everyone will visit the CAG tent.

Thanks for keeping the Catonsville Community informed -- Good Luck Penny!!

All the best, Penny! Keep growing and finding happiness and success!

Congrats, Penny! Excited to work together in the coming months :)

Penny, THANK YOU for serving the Catonsville community so superbly, not only with your consummate journalistic skills and work ethic, but also with your irrepressible good nature and sunny disposition. Far more than just reporting on the events in the community, you have been an unabashed Catonsville booster, and an active participant in helping make this place we all love a better place to live, work, study, and play. While they can hire another editor, there is really no way you are going to be replaced.

I'll miss you Penny! Congratulations and thank you for making Catonsville Patch great! Keep in touch with us!
