Dear Editor,

I would like to congratulate Mr. Stewart, Ms. Kuijper Dickson, and your journalists and staff of The Equity for the new look of the paper. The articles have been informative and interesting. That’s not to say they weren’t previously, but there seems to be a little more “life” in the pages. 

And I am not a crossword puzzler, Wordler, Sudukoist, or even a Scrabbler, but I decided to tickle the old grey matter with The Equity’s puzzle and quite enjoyed it. I haven’t bothered checking my answers this week ‘cause I’m afraid to see how little I knew, but am hoping I got at least close to half. Just finishing last week’s puzzle – it didn’t take long. I went from “tickling” the grey matter to scratching it, but that’s still stimulation, right! I’m not yet considering myself a lost cause (read possible moron), but boy, I’ve got a lot to brush up on! It is fun to try.

Congratulations and thank you again for all your dedication to the wants of your subscribers. 

Sharon Hampson, Shawville
