The Best Of On My Mind: The Bryan Times Newspaper Columns Of Don Allison

During more than three decades as an editor with The Bryan Times, a daily newspaper in Northwest Ohio, Don Allison has supplemented his work in news with columns touching on a variety of topics. Since 2006 his columns have appeared weekly under the title "On My Mind." These columns range from hard-hitting pieces on topics in the new, to heartfelt family pieces, to humorous takes on life.Beginning with his earliest days as a columnist, Don's writing has earned recognition from United Press International and Associated Press, and individual pieces have been picked up by other newspapers through AP.His readers, too, have praised Don's writing."To be honest, I broke into tears (the good kind) when I read it," one reader wrote in response to a column on a personal topic."I admire your courage in being willing to tell it like it is," another reader shared after reading a column chastising politicians for catering to special interest groups."Wow!" was the simple comment of another reader, reacting to Don's column about a chance conversation with Pete Seeger.This volume brings together some of the best columns from the early years of "On My Mind." They are some of Don's favorites, and he hopes you enjoy them as well. 9780965920148 0965920143 160 BOOK American newspapers NOT_MATURE http://books.google.com/books/content?id=R2I4jgEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api en
