There is just no gainsaying the impact Joan Shalikashvili has on the local and Joint Base Lewis-McChord area. People who know her say that she is loving, giving, true, honest, caring, focused - just to name a few of the adjectives applied to her. But she won't tell you that. No, she'll

Few lines of dialogue are surer to bring me to tears than "Miss Jean Louise, stand up. Your father's passing." I'm moved by tales of goodness; if ever there was a novel that pondered the differences between legal, right and good, it's Harper Lee's immortal To Kill a Mockingbird. You've

If you are a South Sound resident and you're feeling deprived of classical music, you're clearly not paying attention. Look under any bush in this region and you're likely to uncover a virtuosic masterwork for cello and piano concert, such as the one Sunday in Schneebeck Concert Hall. David Requiro,
