New Ramona Local Editor Named

Hello again, Ramona!

I'm very excited to announce that today is my first official day as Ramona Patch's local editor.

If you remember, I took over as "" after our beloved Julie Pendray . After many interviews, and even some testing, I was named the new editor for Ramona.

I look forward to covering the town for you all and appreciate any and all news tips sent my way.

Please don't hesitate to email me with questions, comments, constructive criticism, praise and hot tips at my new email, melissa.phy@patch.com.

Thanks for the warm welcome, Ramona. I'll see you around town!
