NEWS FLASH

This column "Nuggets from Norway," published in the LaConner Weekly News, won 2nd place in Washington State's "Best General Interest Column" category in a competition put on by the Washington "Better Newspaper Association."  It was judged by a panel from New York, and it was in competition with newspapers much larger in circulation.  Hallelujah!

This is the second year I've won second place, so I'm thinking if I start writing about the Swedes, I might come in first place next year. :)
