Dear Editors:
Thank you for sending the first two issues of the Messenger Mountain News. I let Katie open the envelope and she was so pleased and impressed with your new paper. Allen and I also think you have produced a beautiful and readable product. The picture and article about Katie was such a surprise for her. Thank you for your kindness. I believe that your focus on stories from the lives of people in your community is invaluable. Good job.
Katie is making really good progress; eating food by mouth, talking well and trying to deal with hair that has been matted down for 2 months and experiencing all the normal angst associated with lost time and memory. We are so very grateful. She is still physically weak but working hard. Katie is better every day and looks forward to returning to Topanga in a couple of months.
–Emily and Allen McCutchan
The other day I was talking to Britt from Britt Glynn DesignBuild. We were discussing advertising in the new Messenger Mountain News. She shared how much she loves the new paper, saying it is very inviting. In fact she is very pleased because the new design and layout of the paper makes her 10 year old son want to read. Success!
