Dear Readers,
NO, your eyes are not deceiving you. NO, I’m not too lazy to write a column for this week’s newsletter. YES, I have no bananas! (Only those of you of a “certain age” will likely get that reference). YES, no one has completed an interview for this week.
Although I have a number of interviewees finishing up their information, none are ready to print this week. So… I’m taking a brief walk down Memory Lane.
Since I wrote my first column in February, I’ve interviewed and shared the stories of 23 MHS graduates! I thought you might enjoy rereading or catching up on someone you’ve missed. Just go to the MNN website and click on the issue you’d like to read.
