What an honor, and Blessing, to receive this prestigious award for doing something I enjoy so much!
The judge's comments for the columns entered for me by my Editor Bill Duffield were: "These columns range from nostalgia to the voice of a community, but they have one key thing in common: They take a stand and intelligently (and personably) defend it. A joy to read."
For those who are not aware, the Kettering-Oakwood Times was the home of the late Erma Bombeck, one of the most humorous, emotional and gifted writers of recent times and it is an honor to be published in the same paper!
