Oct. 1, 1990 was the first of 20 years of weekly columns. For the first six years this column was titled Post Scripts and appeared exclusively in the Post Falls Tribune. In 1996 it began running in the Coeur d'Alene Press under the Main Street name. With a couple of hiatus in the past two decades I'm thinking the columns-written tally would be right around 1,000, and the word count in the several hundred thousands! Thanks to all of you for reading and for allowing me to share so many of your stories through the years.

DFO: Please join me in tipping the cap to Kerri & her long-running Main Street column (even though it appears in Brand X). I still growl when I recall the regional editor who ran Kerri off from the Handle Extra section of our paper. I told him he was wrong to do so. He chased Kerri back into the arms of the Coeur d'Alene Press. Fortunately, we've been able to hang onto Nils Rosdahl. Kerri still has a ways to go to beat the almost 26-year run of Huckleberries. Then, she's younger.
