15 years ago, today, I purchased MonticelloLive, an occasional blog by Jeff Noble, a local pastor, on school and public items in Monticello and began posting daily news, videos of public meetings, and many other “daily news items.“

Since then, breaking local stories have received immediate attention, several stories have been picked up by national news organizations, and the Lord has blessed me with many opportunities to have a positive effect on Monticello and Drew County.

Thank you to all the readers and sponsors who have helped make this possible.

One of the biggest compliments is not that “Everyone knows Burgess,” but rather that upto 15,000 people/day click to see what I think is newsworthy in their lives.

Thank you for making MonticelloLive.com a daily habit.

Burgess.
