In his Dec. 28 column Win Gruening reflected on his ten years writing biweekly commentaries for the Empire, and commented on how lucky Juneau is to have its own community newspaper. I certainly agree. I enjoy reading Mr. Gruening’s thoughtful columns. I often disagree with his views, but I urge him to continue sharing them with us for us as long as he is blessed with the ability to do so. Like the Empire itself, Juneau is lucky to have Win Gruening.
