BULEY: Personal stories appreciated

I was delighted to read Bill Buley’s story in the Coeur d’Alene Press featuring Ivan and Diane Wallgren, “Surviving snakes, war and old Fords.” Bill truly has a way of bringing personal stories to life and creating a memory that lasts forever.

I am very happy to see that these “features” of our local residents have returned to the Saturday Local section of The Press. I always enjoyed reading these profile pieces in years past when Bill was writing them, and I look forward to reading them in the future.

My family was very fortunate to have Bill feature my parents as one of his profiles; it’s a story I treasure as my mom has been gone for almost four years — it brings her words, smile and humor back to life.
