A Custodian's Love
As a newspaper photojournalist, Rich Abrahamson was used to covering loss and death. Now, he's sharing another story of loss from his hometown through an exhibit at the Octagon in downtown Ames. But unlike most stories he covered, this one is personal. This story is the Region 7 winner in the 2020 SPJ Mark of Excellence Awards in the TV Feature Reporting category. This story was also honored with a Student Production Award from the Upper Midwest Emmy Foundation.
The Next Bob Ross
Levi Chytka began painting for fun. He used it as a way to relieve stress from college and his job as a community adviser. The hobby soon taught him some important lessons about life, which he shares with the Geoffroy Hall community. He hopes to attend Bob Ross teaching courses in July 2020 after he graduates.
