Kudos for a well-told story

It was nice to start the week with this note from a reader about Beccy Tanner’s story on USS Grunion. Thanks, Tim, we love hearing from happy readers:

“The Eagle has some great writers/story tellers on staff.  I just want to say how much I enjoy reading articles like the Grunion story…what a string of coincidences, and I have been moved to tears by Roy Wenzl more than once. Your paper must count itself blessed to have the depth of talent that is consistently displayed in its pages.”

We’re indeed fortunate in our newsroom to have a staff of talented writers, many who are long-time (if not lifelong) Kansans. As I told Tim, I think that connection to the community and region shows in the stories they write.
