Robberson, Nelson & McKenzie
Congratulations to Class of ’75 alum Tod Robberson who, along with Dallas Morning News colleagues Colleen McCain Nelson and William McKenzie, won the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Writing.
  
The prize is awarded for “distinguished editorial writing, the test of excellence being clearness of style, moral purpose, sound reasoning, and power to influence public opinion in what the writer conceives to be the right direction, in print or online or both.” The three were specifically commended “for their relentless editorials deploring the stark social and economic disparity between the city’s better-off northern half and distressed southern half.”

The prize was announced on April 12 and will be presented at a luncheon at Columbia University in New York City on May 24.

Ken Elmgren (’72) has announced the second all-years informal gathering of Spring Woods High School alumni at Hula Hut for Thursday, May 27, starting at 7:00 p.m.

If you plan to attend, we hope that you will let us know by accepting the Facebook invitation or by sending an email to events@springwoodsalumni.org. An RSVP is not required, though, as this is an informal gathering and we’d rather you show up last-minute than to not show up at all.

For more information, contact Ken Elmgren on Facebook or email us at events@springwoodsalumni.org.

When: Thursday, May 27, 2010 at 7:00pm
Where: Hula Hut, 3825 Lake Austin Blvd, Austin, TX (map & directions)
