Letter to the editor: Big loss

To the editor:

What a tremendous loss for the decision makers!

Mike Yoder and Richard Gwin have been the “opening line,” the “heartbeat” of the Lawrence Journal-World through their photos over the years. For the Lawrence community, the amazing skill of these photojournalists has been to our eyes what music is to the soul!

Mike and Richard’s ability to capture this community in photos has been, for many, the first item viewed on the front page,and often the only thing on the front page to elicit a smile! They have been magical in somehow maintaining the nostalgia of Lawrence, as well as the vibe of Lawrence as it changes through the years.

The world moves on but…WOW!

It is a sad day, indeed, in the loss of more of the old-school goodness of Lawrence, Kansas.
