Nice, Scott! Is the story out yet?
Nice to see how things looked there before the latest snow. Very cool that a reporter wanted to do a piece. I hope you'll link to it when it's published.
Give us a heads-up when the article comes out, Scott; it will be interesting to get Matt's perspective on the preserve.
Carolyn, Robin Andrea, and Packrat. I'll see what I can do about posting a link to Matt's story when it is published (supposedly Wednesday, March 25). Incidentally, I asked reporter Matt (who was pretty young) about his educational background. He told me that he earned a BA in English from Penn State University. I quipped, "Oh, so there is life after earning an English degree!" and he said (very seriously), "Oh, yeah, I had quite a few opportunities after I graduated." (He didn't elaborate, though.)
I hope the reporter does a good job on the story and the photos. A reporter that young can sometimes be kind of ignorant about a lot of things. I know I was.
I wonder what kind of opportunities he had as an English major. These days you can't even teach English with just an English degree, except at private schools, I guess.
Mark: The reporter did a really good job; his article appeared in the paper today, and I couldn't find a single thing incorrect in his piece--which is very unusual for a newspaper reporter.
