"Personal" to Kathy from a fan

Please don't stop writing

Hi Kathy,

I was thinking about your email to Gretchen and your embarrassment when it became public. As you know the same thing happened to me. At the time I was kind of ticked. I have thought about this a little bit and have come to the following conclusions.

Both Stan and Tom are/were reporters and as such, any news is to be shared. They want to keep the blog going and as a "blog addict" (and a reader of everything, including cereal boxes :-), I really enjoy what is written, no matter how trivial.
I loved when Katherine Aga Lee sent in her two cents. I got a kick out of Jim Clifford and some of the guys reactions and comments when the Corner Bar was torn down. When Van Eastlund had his health problems, I was so happy when John Herdan kept us updated. Reading about and seeing pictures of weddings and other outings are not boring to me.

Some people have a way with the written word and because of this I think when they read things written as eloquently as your blogs are, they may get intimidated and be afraid to submit any of their own.

I live in Alex and have since I was 8 years old. You were so enthusiastic about the town that I looked at it with new eyes. I drive by Charlies Bazaar everyday on my way to and from work, but after you talked about how cool it was, I,a non shopper, had to check it out. (The owners would like to send you a thank you card by the way. Dave on the other hand was seen wincing as I came in with yet another Charlies' bag).

Where is this going? Please, please do not quit submitting to the blog. Stan could be right, about the fact that not many people actually read the blog. But for us that do, please keep contributing. You, Tom and other regulars are fun to read. You keep us connected.

Your fan, Bonita
