‘Delaware is home’: President Joe Biden pens letter to First State as he leaves office
I once saw a greeting card that read: “Home is where you start”. That’s a pretty simple statement, and also, a pretty profound thought.
Home is the place where the tracks of your character and the DNA of your value system are laid down – it’s the place that surrounds you and protects you.
It’s an incubator: through its windows you get a glimpse of the world before you have to step out into it – you can see The Possibilities – and when you are ready – when it is time, you walk out its door into that world – to become all you can be – all you are capable of.
Delaware is home.
And now for the final time, Jill and I, nurtured and chiseled by the State, have come home to stay – with gratitude and love for the opportunities you have given us to listen, to learn, and to lead.
You celebrated with me in 1972 when I was elected to the US Senate at 29 years old – you mourned with me 6 weeks later at the death of my wife and baby daughter. Your grief washed over me and helped heal my soul – and 5 years later, your joy at my marriage to Jill sealed my heart.
You marched with me in parades from Hockessin to Laurel, you ate with me at the Italian and Greek festivals, manned the booth with me at the Harrington Fair – stood beside me when I was bent but not broken, stood behind me when I need that extra push of courage, stood in front of me when I needed to listen and follow your wisdom.
You, my fellow Delawareans, have been the wind beneath my wings. We are a nation of promise and possibilities, of dreamers and doers, of ordinary Americans doing extraordinary things. That’s what you showed me.
So Delaware, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you. It has been the privilege of my life to represent you, as a County Councilman, US Senator, Vice President of the United States and President of the United States.
Because of you, Delaware will forever be written on my heart.
I’ll see you back home.
Joe Biden is the 46th president of the United States and a lifelong Delawarean. He will be returning to the First State when he exits office on Jan. 20.

MUNCIE, IN — Five individuals and one organization were recognized for their contributions to Delaware County during the annual ViVA (Very Important Volunteer Award) luncheon on April 14, according to a community announcement.
The event, hosted by the Muncie Noon Rotary Club in partnership with the Muncie Sunrise Rotary Club, has been a tradition since 1993. The ViVA Awards celebrate those who dedicate their time and resources to uplift the community.
Vickie Armstrong Oliver, Ken Glaub, Dottie Kreps and Beth Kroehler each received individual ViVA Awards for their volunteer efforts and commitment to various causes.
The Muncie Central High School Alumni Association was presented with the 2026 ViVA Organizational Award. Since 1995, the association has supported the high school through philanthropy and historical preservation.
The association has awarded more than $76,000 in scholarships to seniors and nearly $39,000 in teacher grants. It has also financed various campus needs, including the restoration of the school’s Abraham Lincoln statue. The board maintains a public Memorabilia Room to preserve the school’s legacy.
Linda Gregory received the Edmund F. Ball Lifetime Achievement Award for her lifelong dedication to service in the community.
The ViVA Awards luncheon served as a reminder of the generosity and compassion that define Delaware County’s volunteer heritage, according to the announcement.
