Golden Pen Award Winner

The Spokesman-Review is pleased to announce that George A. Paccerelli of Colville has won the monthly Golden Pen Award.

Paccerelli’s Aug. 19 letter commented on the Lakota Indians’ recent “victory dance” over the graves of American soldiers killed at the Battle of the Little Big Horn.

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

The 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 George Paccerelli and thank all of the readers who care enough to debate public issues on this page.
