PeopleNewsPapers Wins Award for Review of My Leonberger Book

Park Cities People and Preston Hollow People Magazine here in Dallas (Preston Hollow) received 15 awards in this year’s National Newspaper Association Better Newspaper Contest. The National Newspaper Association (NNA), founded in 1885, has over 2,300 members, making it the largest newspaper trade association in the United States. There are slightly more than 100 categories and there is a first price, second price, third price, and an honorable mention, so a bit more than 400 opportunities for an award. Considering that there are 2,300 newspapers I think winning 15 is quite impressive. It is certainly a high-quality magazine. They earned three first-place awards, two second places, five third places, and five honorable mentions. One of the honorable mentions was for Best Book Review. That book review was written by Journalist Kersten Rettig and the book in question was “The Life and Times of Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle”.

Big congratulations to Kersten Rettig for winning the honorable mention for best book review.

It is certainly not my accomplishment. It is the newspaper’s award and Kersten Rettig’s accomplishment, but I am very happy about this for myself as well, since I wrote the book, and that is kind of exciting.

The Best Community Newspaper In Texas

A little over a month ago I found out that an article about me, our late Leonberger Bronco and my book about him had been published in the September issue of the Preston Hollow People’s Magazine. It was a very nice surprise. Preston Hollow Peoples Magazine, which calls itself the best community magazine in Texas (I totally agree), is a monthly magazine with 47,000 online or print version subscribers. I can add that Preston Hollow is a large historic neighborhood in the northern part of Dallas with many famous residents including former President George W. Bush, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, previous Dallas Stars owner Tom Hicks, the late Presidential candidate Ross Perot and many others.

What I am posting about today is that I finally acquired a couple of print versions of the September issue of the Preston Hollow Peoples Magazine, so I am posting a few here. I am also including a link to the online article because it might be easier to read.
