We are losing a T from our team

Our little blogging team here at Blogriculture is about to get a little smaller. Tara Polinsky, a copy editor/page designer, is currently working her last shift for Capital Press. Today will be her last day on staff before she starts a new job with the Statesman Journal newspaper here in Salem, Ore.

The place just won't be the same without her.

Tara has carved out a unique little niche here on our blog. As a recent transplant to the Pacific Northwest, she took it upon herself to learn more about her new home. She detailed how she went about exploring Oregon's unique attractions in her first post on Blogriculture. Fortunately for us, she has helped take us all along to share the adventure over the last few months via her photographs and words posted on the blog in a series of posts labeled curiosities.

Thanks for sharing your observations and your time with us, Tara. Good luck in your future travels, personally and professionally. Thanks to your sense of humor, your curiosity and your talents for story telling, I know I won't look at Oregon or Blogriculture in quite the same way ever again.
