Distinguished Alumni Thank the editor Monday at TRC

Sunday, April 30, 2017

To the Editor:

If you like to eat, how do you thank a farmer?

If you like to deer hunt, how do you thank the MDC?

Thanking someone can be tricky, but recently Three Rivers College found a way to thank a newspaper editor -- give him a Distinguished Alumni Award.

Congratulations to Stan Berry, who has for 37 years set his alarm at 3 a.m. so he can be at work by 4 a.m. and start going through AP stories and local stories and photos that will make up that day's front page of the Daily American Republic. Not only does Stan pick stories, but he decides where to put them on the front page. So, if you like the way the front page of the DAR looks, find a way to thank Stan Berry.

One way is to attend a reception for Berry on Monday, May 1, from 4-6 p.m. at the Tinnin Center.
