At the Missouri Press Association's annual awards luncheon, our beloved KDE editor, Grego P. Fabulous, won THIRD PLACE honors in the best columnist competition. Third place. Out of like five. At least two columnists actually finished behind Grego.
What "Press Association" from hell.........................?
Anyway, it was the first such award Grego received since this 2004 accolade and damnit, it had better be the last. He is not even the third best columnist in Kirksville.
More to come soon.
EDIT: The story included a picture of Grego. He's in the center. Gregory Orear: Award-winning journalist, and an avid user of mousse. Here's what his fans had to say:

Leisa learned to write at the Grego School of Sentence Structure. She majored in "totally forgetting that punctuation exists," and graduated with honors.

So far, Grego has received one "congrat" and one "congratulation." They love him because he writes on their level.
