Letters to the Editor
From: Jane Elsdon
It is exciting to see the new columns you have. I find substance and information of interest in every column. Karl Kempton's piece on the Chumash, edited by Carol Georgi is superb. I love the Elfin Forest and Sweet Springs pieces and the birder column. Steve Key on music is a fine addition and so are the medical columns. Read More
Stan's Place
It is mainly in tribute to Stan that the Slo Coast Journal was conceived. He loved this community and the people in it. One of the things he shared with me was how important it was that we all have a voice. He felt that we should be reminded of how fortunate we are to live here, because we often take our place for granted. We in small communities have something to hold on to - the ability to know our neighbors and to understand how we all contribute to the lives of each other. Stan enabled that through his columns. Hopefully we at the Journal will continue, in our own way, that service to you.
I'm no Stan Thompson. I can't write like he did or capture that warmth and generosity of spirit he shared through his columns. But others will be here to continue to introduce you to your neighbors. When you read these pages, please think of our Stan and smile. Read More
