21. When the new format hit my door, I, like many others,
threw up my hands in despair--ahahah!
But now I'm a "recant." The newspaper business
everywhere is in dire trouble. What you did was to save it
in our not so small part of the world. The yokels--uh,
locals--should be happy as a blood-choked mosquito. I,
for one, was not aware of the diversity of life here in
Charlotte until you began playing it up. Wow!
Not every paper could pull this off, but the Observer can
because (1) you have such good writers, (2) and
photographers. I feel as if I'm reading an on-going novel-
-illustrated. Tell me more, show me more!
As a writer, I thank you for the book page and the photo
of my dear friend, and fellow poet, Dannye Powell, in the
upper left-hand corner.
You have a winner there.
Onward and upward,
Julie Suk
