After many years of having a journalism degree (among others) and never using it; I now see where I missed the proverbial boat. You have done a wonderful job with this story....and I will have to say, "I am jealous" as to what you do, and your ability to fulfill some with what "journalism" can't teach ....a good story can teach what society is missing; a heart, understanding, equality, empathy.
I became turned off to the facts, facts, facts - get the facts - dig for the story. You have lead me to believe journalist do have a soul. (bc most my profs did not). A wonderful piece.; Reply to this comment
