*Fans of Focus April 13, 2000, December 23, 1999, MarchDecember 23, 1999 • The Suffolk Times w9 THE OBSERVER — Speaking of The Suffolk Times' reader survey, here are a few hiphliphts, none of which should sur- prise you, dear reader: 1) Almost everyone loves Judy Ahrens, rating her photography higher than any other element in the paper. 2) Paul Stouten- burgh's "Focus on Nature" is our most popular col- umn. 3) Remarkably, Joanne Sherman's column is :he second most popular, even though she left us months ago to join The Shelter Island Reporter. (But we're working on that, aren't we, Joanne ?) 4) Dinosaurs, unite! Black & white photography beats out color, 58% to 37%! . arch 23, 2000 • The Suffolk Times Dear Troy and Joan, Jeff and Sue, an staff of The Suffolk Times: Congratulations on your most recen (in a long history) of well - deserved awards for excellence "in journalism.

I mentioned it to my wife and got the book for my birthday. Very good and, yes, it's.nice to see a book of this type with the costs and wages. Enjoy your columns. My favorite is Paul Stoutenburgh. His stories would make a great book. Also hope you can get Joanne [Sherman] back. Best of luck to you, and keep up the good work with your paper. .

And view Paul Stoutenburgh's col- umn as an abiding treasure, deeply moving and satisfying, as it reflects on a principal joy of living here: the beau- ty of the North Fork's natural world.
