Dear Natalie,
Thank you for staring deeply into our diverse, fractional cultures and at our cast of characters. In your reporting, you have displayed people in the events of our region, communities and neighborhoods. Always well-said, your stories created a starting point for our own continuing interest in stories around us.

Congratulations, Natalie on your career success, and living the dream. It looks like you and Erin will be crisscrossing the country about the same time. We will miss you out here in the West--so don't be a stranger!

Dear Natalie,
As you escape all the "legitimate" quotes from the self-proclaimed leaders of our region, take with you a continuing willingness to challenge such self-importance. Your writing, with our thanks, was a mirror for attitudes by such self-importance and allowed a majority of readers to judge what was legitimate and what was too political.
Job well done!
