Dear Editor,
Here is a tribute in verse to Grant Pepper, in thanks for his years of informative and dedicated reporting.
For five years you have covered local news
On topics A to Z across the County,
Recording facts and all the varied views
Generating dialogue, a bounty
Richly amplified, a skill you learned
At Ohio Northern, polished here.
Now off to Delaware, a post you earned
To help those starting out on a career.
Perhaps in storytelling as your art,
Enrollment tasks for you will show your passion.
People take first-place within your heart,
Prepared to help as folks new pathways fashion.
Each day you showed through News democracy.
Remember, journalism keeps us free.
