The Roanoke Times is Virginia’s third-largest newspaper, serving 19 counties throughout the southwest portion of the state. Its weekday readership is estimated at 163,000 people.
I discovered this morning that The Roanoke Times published my latest letter to the editor; it appeared on November 21. (This was my letter about drawing comparisons between the January 6th attack on the Capitol and protests by Black Lives Matter.)
Thanks, as always, to the editorial staff of The Roanoke Times for the opportunity to share my point of view with my neighbors.

I just think it’s neat. It’s weird looking to where the Campbell Court bus hub used to be and seeing an enormous empty space.
The city has a deal with developer to put a few things in the redesigned space, including apartments and stores. You can read all about it here at The Roanoke Times.

I was so pleased this morning to see that The Roanoke Times published my letter to the editor about the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks. You can find it right here.
I’m honored that my thoughts about the occasion appear to have struck a chord with people. This same letter was featured first on Wednesday by New York’s Newsday (with a weekday circulation of 437,000), and then here in Virginia by The Bristol Herald Courier (with a circulation of 39,000). As The Roanoke Times has a Sunday circulation of 85,000, this would mean that the letter was distributed to 561,000 readers.
Here’s a big word of thanks to the editors of The Roanoke Times for allowing me to communicate with with my neighbors through such a superb regional newspaper.

… this one about the January 6th coup attempt.
Bear in mind, please, that this was written the evening of January 6th — long before the more frightening details of the coup emerged.
I got a nice surprise when I woke up this morning — The Roanoke Times published my holiday poem, “A Roanoke Thanksgiving.” You can find it right here.
As you might remember if you follow this blog, I penned this poem about my adopted city at about this time last year. Thanks to the good folks over at The Roanoke Times for letting me share it today with my neighbors!
