‘Special kudos to the kids’
Thank you for your work on the “Words Without Walls” project (Jan. 24). A good friend of mine (Sister Pat Bartolo) sent me the article and the link to the video, and I was impressed with the piece. Kudos to you for writing the article and to the adults involved with the project — and extra special kudos to the kids who worked so hard on the script.
In Latrobe, we did a similar project between my theater company and a few of the girls at Adelphoi. We presented it on stage in 2016. I am attaching a copy of the script — not because I want you to do anything with it, but because I want to demonstrate that there should be more attention paid to these kinds of projects. In these difficult and polarized times, we all need to be reminded of the basic goodness of people, especially the young. Your article does that.

I very much enjoy the new goodness section. Not sure if you have more than enough projects to feature, but in case you are looking for more, may I suggest the Knead Community Cafe in New Kensington? They provide many free meals to individuals and families in need. They also serve as a hub for winter clothing drives and donations. Additionally, they have ignited a spark in the revitalization of a downtrodden downtown. They are doing a lot of good for this depressed area.

Thank you for initiating the “goodness” section. At a time when most news is bleak and discouraging, it is so uplifting to be reminded that there is still much good to celebrate right here in our area. A great way to begin the week!

I want to commend the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for the lovely idea of a “goodness” section, which is always a good idea and especially currently. TERESA DIX

Like your new section of the newspaper.
Many years ago, probably in the ’60s, The Pittsburgh Press ran a very small poem on the bottom front page every day. It was very uplifting. I don’t know why the name Love comes to mind. They might bring some well needed inspiration.
Often think of those little poems and wished I had cut some out to save, but busy growing up I guess.

Thank you for bringing to us the new goodness section. It’s exactly what we need to hear — some good news around the Pittsburgh area. I applaud you for giving us some upbeat stories to start our week. We all could use more positive strokes!
P.S. I love the name “goodness” because it’s the word that covers all of your stories. Keep it going. You’re doing a great job!
