Thankfully, I have a short bio to use that was first printed in the Holmes County Advertiser in 1992. It begins; "Writer - Sue Cronkite A writer and journalist" . Yes that is her profession but our Sue is much more than all of that. She is a mother, Grandmother,Sister my friend and loving relative. More like an Aunt than a cousin, she's a very special person to all of us who know her and we are so lucky to have her Views: 257
1. 27-05-2008 18:27 Congrats I'm a little behind on keeping up with the paper, but I am really glad that Sue is the relative of the month. Congrats Sue. I know that Sue and I have only had a chance to meet face to face once that I remember, but I sure enjoyed it and enjoyed the nice cards and notes she has sent over the years. It is an honor to celebrate such a find relative! 2. 14-04-2008 19:25 Congrats I think that you should have "saved" Sue for a few years. How will any family member ever measure up to her. Well there is Dan Padgett. What a really nice note from her hephew Michael too. I agree that Sue feels more like an "Aunt". 3. 12-04-2008 14:04 Sue Cronkite the writer Years ago I was fortunate to get a copy of "Nuts to You". It is a treasure, one of a few volumes which I have, where I have known the author. Keep those stories coming, Sue! No one can tell them like you. 4. 08-04-2008 14:09 Sue Cronkite the writer Oops! I spelled Boy! wrong. I must be forgetting how to type. 5. 08-04-2008 14:06 Sue Cronkite the writer Bpy! Was I surprised. I have just come back from Geneva, where I went for my uncle Clifton Sullivan's funeral and the wake of my ex-brother-in-law Malcolm Sowell, and turned on the computer and there I was! Wow! When I sent the Holmes County Advertiser special 100th anniversary section I had put together back in 1992 to Terry, I forgot they made me write stuff about myself. That was 16 years ago and I haven't done much since then. The Holmes County Advertiser sold,Life Magazine died,my daughter Mary Lynn and her husband Mark Rodgers bought a motel in Apalachicola and I moved here. This is a strange little town where the people are about as nutty as they are back home. I'm taking graduate classes in psychology, I had hoped to learn how to understand people, but instead am learning more about how to understand myself. We have a wonderful family, with amazing history and stories. It is a priviledge to be associated with all of you. Isn't it wonderful that Terry lets us write about our convoluted existences on an internet newspaper? Bring on the truths and tales. Be careful about bragging on me. When the honors started coming in to E. W. (Judge) Carswell, he said "Oops, I must be about to die, they're lauding me with rubber chicken and chinkapin peas." If I can get the time, I'm sending Terry some of the history books I have helped people publish to advertise on the rp newspaper. 6. 06-04-2008 03:03 Sue When I was just a little girl I used to love to hear Aunt Margaret tell all the stories about your advetures. You reminded me of the female version of Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer. Would love to hear a recap of some of the stories about your adventures at PDL. Remember the time you locked your Chemistry teacher in the closet with his teacher classmate? Love, Anne 7. 05-04-2008 04:04 T. Michael Riddle Aunt Sue, Mere words cannot describe how I feel about you but, I will try. The times when I was Sad, Angry at life or just simply out of synchronization you always would come with your very own special way carrying your wit, wisdom and finesse with which you could pull me out of the dark and into the light. All the way from the angry young man whom you would tolerate and often times indulge, to the now somewhat tempered older man whom you still will tolerate and indulge, your beautiful spirit and countenance are always with me and a part of me and who I am. I Love You And Miss You Very Much! 8. 04-04-2008 12:31 Sue yikes! Thanks David! I fixed it thanks! 9. 04-04-2008 02:56 Sue I am just trying to figure out if Sue graduated from Ponce de Leon in 951AD or 951BC. 10. 04-04-2008 01:51 Our Sue What a great way to start the month. There is no one I enjoy a good visit with more than Sue. Always entertaining and enlightening about our family history. She is our crown jewel in this family and we are so lucky to call her ours. She can spin a tale that will have you in stitches and make you wonder can it really be true. We love you Sue! Great job Mr. Editor! Love, Frances Only registered users can write comments.
