Letters to the Editor

Good job:
Dear Editor,

The special edition was just marvelous. I was gasping for air realizing how everyone was out all day and night, taking pictures, interviewing, and then putting this all together. So glad you put the times the pictures were taken to make people realize that Barry and others were without sleep for many hours and still put together a coherent publication.

It also makes the ordinary population realize how many people are working in the middle of the night to serve them in various ways.

This special edition gets better every year. I just don’t know how you all do it! Makes my little weekly all-nighter with the Memphis State College paper pale by comparison; although, we all felt like hell the next day. This was in the old hot-type days and I just loved it!

Keep it up! You all are just fantastic!

Love,
Edie Haggard,
Holly Springs
