Recently the family of Frank Inman and the members of the Darrington Community Funeral Dinners had the pleasure of meeting Julie Muhlstein, columnist for The Herald.
What a lovely lady! The dinner arrangements are usually busy, hectic and what could be considered as organized chaos. Pencil and note pad pages flying, Julie captured the care and friendship of those involved with the event. She interviewed people bringing food, serving food and finally eating food. She tied all this together with family memories of their loved one and made the Sunday paper deadline (“The good old days aren’t over yet in Darrington,” July 6). How she kept all this in order to write a great article only reflects on her talents as a reporter.
After she left comments flew like the food and blackberry pie. “My, wasn’t she nice?” “She’s prettier than her picture,” and “I read her stories all the time.” The only half-negative remark was “she didn’t eat much.”
Just wanted you to know what a small community thought of the big city reporter. And, by the way, the current Mayor of Darrington has indicated she may not run for re-election. Julie, if you should suddenly move in to town, the job might be yours!
Great article, Julie, thank you.
