An obit came across our desk Wednesday. Edna Bishop, a lady pilot of WWII. We found her inspiring and asked the editor for permission to write a story on her. We got in touch with the lady's husband and got information from him. He seemed touched that we even cared.
The story ran in the next day's paper. Later on that day, we received this:

To: "Pendleton, Rose"
Dear Rose: We can't tell you how much we appreciate the article you developed and wrote concerning our wife and mother. She would have enjoyed it, I'm sure.
Thank you for your work in developing the facts from the meager bit of information I supplied. It is a great story.
Sincerely, Jim Bishop
We almost started crying at our desk. :)
