So yesterday I told you about all of the things I wouldn’t miss about Grand Forks. There is far more I WILL miss.   Here we go:
1. Belmont Road in the spring.
2. Personal picnics on my supper break at Lincoln Drive Park watching the river.
3. My area watering holes. This includes Johnny’s, Bonzers, The Frog, Town Pump II (Petersburg), The Red Dog and Good Friends (Larimore), Denny’s and The Hub.
4. The races followed by Reggie playing the Jukebox at Judy’s.
5. The two days every summer that it gets really, really hot in Grand Forks.
6. The yearly antique jewelry sale at the North Dakota Museum of Art.
7. Big beers during Fighting Sioux Hockey games.
8. Pre-newscast bathroom chats with Casey Wonnenberg while we are doing our make-up.
9.   UND’s 10-Percent Society’s Drag Shows. Great, wild times.
10. Good people I have known who have gone since I have been here. This includes my dear friend Mike Fonder, Bob Brooks, Johnny Pinnsoneault, Rae Ann Moe, Chuck Bundlie, Gary Thomas, Carol Graham, and most recently Dick Grassel.
11. My chiropractor. I am going to be hurting without you.
12. I have three best buds. Kirsten, Tuen, and Nate. Thanks for always being there. We have certainly been through a lot together. And I will miss you all greatly.
13. My co-workers friends who may as well be family members to me.  You are one of the hardest parts about leaving. I will miss our banter, our laughs, our squabbles and practical jokes. Believe that what you are doing and will continue to do is such important work.
14. The viewers I don’t know but who know me. Thank you for your supportive cards, emails, and calls these last few weeks. You are the reason I do what I do. I will sincerely miss serving you. Thank you for inviting me into your living room these last 10 years. It’s been an honor.

Everyone in GF will be missing you Cassie. But I can’t promise that we’ll be able to get Sting and Diddy to sing about your move to D.C.
Ooooh! You make me so proud! Love you.
Grand Forks will miss you too. Good luck in DC! After you get over the culture shock, I hope you enjoy yourself. Peace!
I will miss the pre-bathroom chats too! Who’s going to give me my makeup, hair tips and life tips now:(
SOME PEOPLE SAY YOU WERE HARD AS NAILS I BELIEVE YOU ARE THE COOLEST THANG SINCE ICE CREAM. ALL SMILES I HOPE YOU ARE MISSING YOU IS A UNDER STATEMENT.
You were the reason that I watched WDAZ, now I am bummed I don’ know if they can find some as awesome as you to replace you… Thank God Charlie is still there.
