Story Round-Up: Features in The Herald-News, Week of February 8, 2015

I'm on a roll with being on time with these! Hope I can keep it going.

It was a week for others to shine, and shine they did. I'm humbled at the opportunity to work with and edit the works of other writers. And so, without further comment, here are:


Double organ transplant recipient from Joliet glances back, moves forward
By Mauverneen Blevins
(VIDEO EXTRA)

Fifteen years ago, I had the good pleasure of writing about this woman after her transplant. A few years later, I wrote about the meeting between her and the donor's family. When her mother died, I did An Extraordinary Life piece. Many years and some additional health woes later, see what this marvelous woman is doing now.
