Editor's note - April 2024

 

Cindy Gabriel never disappoints with her knack for witty, thought-provoking storytelling. Cindy – who happens to be one of our very first Buzz writers – and I have a long history of late-night, often-convoluted phone conversations. One such recent conversation included: “I’m taking back my contact and keeping it for myself! It’s too good.” Cindy had been in touch with our travel writer, Tracy Barnett, who was working on an article about the upcoming, rare total solar eclipse. I love that our writers help each other out when needed. And I also love their instincts when they’re onto a story that’s just too good to pass up. Turns out that Cindy’s contact’s eclipse experience makes for one heck of a story. And Tracy’s travel story shines bright as she features an 83-year-old “eclipse chaser” and spotlights a teenage eclipse newbie. Both stories are “totally” worth the read (pun intended).  [email protected]
