Often overlooked

We take the Islands’ Sounder a lot for granted, expecting to see it each week in our Sounder tubes and in the news stands; knowing we can rely on its articles and “What’s Happening” to keep us up to date with the plethora of activities that abound on Orcas; trusting in the accuracy of the reporting, knowing corrections will be printed when necessary; learning about the richness and diversity that surrounds us through in-depth interviews of Island people and their work.

We take the Islands’ Sounder a lot for granted, expecting to see it each week in our Sounder tubes and in the news stands; knowing we can rely on its articles and “What’s Happening” to keep us up to date with the plethora of activities that abound on Orcas; trusting in the accuracy of the reporting, knowing corrections will be printed when necessary; learning about the richness and diversity that surrounds us through in-depth interviews of Island people and their work.

The editor, reporters, publisher and support staff are the people behind all these photos and words, putting in hundreds of extra hours attending activities, meeting deadlines, and taking requests and comments from us with grace and a smile … every week, all year. Read their names on the Opinion page of the Sounder.

I, therefore, want to publicly show my appreciation to Margie and the others for a job well done…every week, all year!

Thank you!
