Thanks for your good work, and again, I look forward to reading more of your articles. --Austin Briggs Edit: I forgot to mention one thing – that I enjoy reading about my fellow Patriots (like senior Matt Weik), and even some of the Eagles over at Issaquah and Spartans up at Skyline (swimmers Jack Taylor, David Jett, the Marbers, etc.).

After reading a couple of your articles in the February 23 edition, I came to realize that you're really good at being a reporter - not only do you report what happened, but you also put your interviewed sources in a good light. I have to admit, the national (and untrue) bias against reporters that all reporters are just out there to get the latest story, without caring about how they report it has kept me from really appreciating newspapers and reporters for quite a long time. Reading your articles dispelled that myth from my brain. You do your fellow reporters a favor by redeeming them in the public's (or at least my) eyes. It is a little ironic, however, that I had to take that risk of opening myself up to criticism. I've been avoiding newspapers and their reporters because I've been afraid of angering them and getting a horrible article published simply for the author to vent his feelings upon me. You have made me realize that reporters aren't all bad, and I thank you greatly for it. I look forward to reading more of your articles, and keep up the good work! --Austin Briggs, junior and swimmer to the Liberty Patriots High School Hey Chris:
