Folks in the City of Falls Church are going to miss Dave Eckert and Annette Mills far more than any now can probably imagine (see story on Page One of this edition). The couple came to Falls Church in the 1980s and, while raising their child here, made an impact on this community that, taken cumulatively, has been stunning. Very rarely will you find such people, operating outside of elected office or without the command of enormous wealth and resources, “making things happen” in a community so consistently as they have for as long as they have since coming here. It will be hard for us to find as many colorful headlines and stories to capture our readers’ interest with them gone.
