Paper Potential

(July 10, 2008)  Editor:

Thanks for the great column by Marcy Burstiner about Rich Somerville. I was a longtime friend and colleague of his, and the piece definitely captured Rich’s skill at bringing out the potential of community newspapers.

I wanted to make sure you guys knew about the Richard Somerville Memorial Scholarship Fund. We’d greatly appreciate any help you could offer in spreading the word about this memorial. Here’s the site for more information: somervillefund.blogspot.com
