To the NooZ,
Keep up the good work on the Avilla newspaper.
Of course I am partial, as Phil is my brother and he likes to write. Once in awhile he will ask,,,,do you remember such and such??? I always have liked writing and wish I had some of the stories we had to write in Miss Miller's English class.
My writing now mostly consists of my past years of where we lived and where I went to school. We moved around a lot during WWII and right after until the folks settled west of Avilla and Phil and I finished school there.
With the state of the Kendallville News newspaper, I hope you will keep up on the obits column. When one moves far away, as Phil and I have, it is interesting to be aware of the updates of those persons we knew and/or grew up with.
Email is great in keeping in touch with classmates and old friends but does not do it all. I believe in today's world, newspapers are still an important part of our world,,,,either on paper or on line, but online news must still have complete stories to hold the public's interest. One question, are you equipped to publish photos, like class reunions, etc.
Thank you and good luck with all you do.
