Somebody was so moved by my photo in today's paper, he wrote a letter to the editor:
Dear Editor:
I laughed at the Army Officer who referred to the paper as the "Tri-City Tribune", but maybe he was only forecasting something better for the area. I often refer to it as the Birdcage Liner, and Friday's paper exemplifies why I use that designation.
On Thursday evening the US Army Field Band Jazz Ambassadors played a great concert at the Kennewick High auditorium. What coverage did they get from your paper? One of the absolutely poorest pictures I've seen, in fact better pictures appear in high school publications. Did the paper provide any information on the band, or members of the band? No, instead we were treated to half a page about the search for a football coach and a full page on the woes of bordello workers in Nevada!
Congatulations (sic) on the poor showing. Once again coverage of any good things in the community in the fine arts goes by the way.
Here's the photo:
It's not a great photo, maybe not even good, but he was a bit harsh, methinks. The letter is now printed and posted on my cubicle wall.
