Reader appreciates the Sentinel's award-winning, quality journalism

I just wanted to give a big shout-out for all the recent awards the Sentinel staff received at the annual Alaska Press Club contest. I won’t try to name them all.

Wrangell should be very proud of Larry Persily and the entire crew at the newspaper. I am now living in Anchorage since the sawmill shut down, but I still get the Sentinel every week. Larry is one of the most sought after advisers up here regarding oil, gas and Alaska’s budget. We Alaskans can’t afford to lose his voice, or Sen. Bert Stedman’s either.

The Wrangell Sentinel received top awards and is much read up here. Keep up the great work, and tell it like it is.

Wishing you continued success, and hello to all.
