Dear Editor,
    I’m actually from Massachusetts, and trust me that it was not in my plans to visit the city of Austin this time around. But, leave it to life to allow all of my plans to fall apart, and after a few buses, refunded plane tickets, and the kindness of strangers, I’ve found myself sitting on a bench with your paper in hand.
    While that’s not terribly interesting in itself (neither am I, but deal with it), I couldn’t leave the city without reaching out first. Whoever is writing your “Austin Elders” column deserves much applause ["Austin Elders: Meet Glen Castlebury, Former Statesman Capitol Bureau Chief," News, Sept. 6]. It’s one of the most enjoyable articles I have read in a paper before. As a Gen Z’er, I recognize the importance of honoring and learning from the people who came before us. Although I’ll never get the chance to sit down with Glen Castlebury, sitting with his story on a park bench comes in close second.
    Thanks for all you’re doing, and cheers from the north!
