    TRIBUTE: A consummate professional

    By Sally Price-Smith, Makana Residents’ Association Chair, 

    Sue has the most amazing stamina: from very early mornings taking pictures of the perfect sunrise with willing participants creating a story to advertise a local running or cycling event to many hours sitting through council meetings.

    She reports a story about a primary school first day with the same enthusiasm and attention to detail as a story about the technical intricacies of the Makhanda water system. She is always well informed, producing clear and accurate copy.

    Sue is a consummate professional who really cares about her craft and knows how important community reporting is to the city.

    Although standing down as Grocott’s editor, we are excited to see how Sue will continue to be involved in and shape community reporting in Makhanda.

    Good luck with new endeavours, Sue. The MRA looks forward to future collaboration.
