Love Letters

I just wanted you to know that I love your newspaper. I get more information out of your monthly newspaper than I do from the Shepherd Express or the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. I read it from cover to cover and find the articles very informative and useful, and I don’t even live in Riverwest, I’m a neighbor in Brewers Hill. I just wanted to say thank you and keep up the good reporting!

I am a longtime consumer of good reading material and I want to compliment the Riverwest Currents. It amazes me every month that you guys put together such a beautiful paper. In the past I worked on, beginning 30 some years ago, Milwaukee Kaleidoscope, Milwaukee Courier, even the Milwaukee Sentinel.

I was the founding editor of Outpost Exchange, and I am proud to know that the Riverwest Currents is a Milwaukee Paper. When I picked up the recent issue, I was impressed from front to back.

I couldn’t have been happier to see the return of Tanya Cromartie-Twaddle’s “The View From Here,” or so I thought. The awesome 32-page January issue came out, and there on page 14 was Tanya’s “Resolution.” Then I read it and was even happier!

Tanya, do you have any idea how your writing helps those of us who strive to say what we mean and mean what we say? It’s not easy, especially if we write and our words hang out there for a while, like laundry on the line for all to see and critique. Maybe we should use H. L. Mencken’s tactic when he wrote in one of his columns: “To anybody who might send something critical to me, this is my response: I am sitting here in the smallest room in my house with your letter of criticism before me. Soon it will be behind me.”

Please keep your words coming, Tanya. We all need to hear your strong, wonderful voice for a whole bunch of reasons.
