When I went into the Herald office last week, a basket sat on my editor's desk.
He nodded at it. "That's for you," he said.
It was not from him.
The Friends of the Park, which would be a civic group that works at the Troutville Town Park, offered up this basket of goodies as a thanks for the publicity and good press I have given the group in the past.
I was pleased and grateful because truly writing for a newspaper is generally a thankless job.
I am overcome when someone notices and appreciates the hard work that what I do often entails.
Many thanks.
*I generally don't accept gifts from people I write about as I don't think it's ethical (though verbal or written thanks and praise is always welcome). But since my editor accepted this first and passed it on, I figured it must be okay.*
*Added a little later.
What a sweet basket! It looks like special thought went into putting this together.
