Golden Pen Award Winner

The Spokesman-Review is pleased to announce that Charles E. McCollim of Spokane has won the monthly Golden Pen Award.

McCollim’s Feb. 20 letter commented on the state’s misplaced priorities concerning expenditure of funds (U.S. Highway 395 vs. new stadium for Seattle).

The Golden Pen Award expresses the newspaper’s appreciation for letter writers who demonstrate exceptional eloquence and clarity in their contributions to our Roundtable page.

Monthly winners, as well as the weekly nominees for this award, are chosen by Opinion page staff members. The monthly winners receive a 10-karat-gold Cross pen.

We congratulate McCollim and thank all of the readers who care enough to debate public issues on this page.
