It was our great joy to read Nina Collay’s column, “The youth view” during our summer sojourn in Old Orchard.
She is a gifted writer and an adroit communicator. Her topics were varied and intriguing. Her pre-16th birthday column, “Letting life happen on its own terms” was thought provoking. She balanced well her youthful optimism with a sense of seriousness and responsibility of fast approaching adulthood.
You are fortunate to have such an insightful young adult as a columnist on your staff.
She gives us great hope for the coming generation, principally because of her, “thought-full-ness”
