Editor's Note - August 2021

Joni Hoffman

I love a good story. I especially love it when that story is told by a talented, young journalist. This spring, one of our online School Buzz correspondents, Eshaan Mani, interviewed his classmate, Jaivir Pande, who won the prestigious Drive, Chip, and Putt title at Augusta. We were so impressed by Jaivir’s golf skills as well as Eshaan’s well-written account that we had to include this story in print too. In this issue, you’ll see more standout young neighbors, including 11-year-old Evelyn Kerth, a competitive equestrian. You’ll also meet clever characters who solve Rubik’s Cubes – and even harder puzzles – as well as an outdoorsy teen and a teacher who know the best spots to fish in Houston. Also this month, a local family reminisces about champion moments made at the original Palace Bowling Lanes. If you have a story to “spare,” I’d love to hear from you. [email protected]
