Golden Pen Award Winner

The Spokesman-Review is pleased to announce that Pamela Noah of Coeur d’Alene has won the monthly Golden Pen Award.

Noah’s Feb. 24 letter explained unforeseen consequences that followed someone’s decision to steal items from her sister’s car and how loss can be measured in more than the dollar cost of the things stolen.

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.

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 Pamela Noah and thank all of the readers who care enough to debate public issues on this page.
