A Krista Ramsey Column

The one I just read is about Larry Borcherding's legacy as an inspiring principal and teacher. It can be read here. This line from it is written really good, "As a science teacher at Delhi Junior High and later at Mother of Mercy High School, he imbued his students with confidence and academic ambition." The way she wrote that line projected what Larry put onto his students. There is good diction in the line, too. Krista uses words like imbued and ambition throughout the article. If there were some questions I would ask her, some would be, How long do you spend perfecting each of your columns? How did you find out about Larry's legacy and idea's for other pieces? How did you eventually become the writer you became? As great of a writer as she is, I would recommend anyone to read her columns.
