The Postscript

Carrie Classon is a breath of fresh air. Her journalism is down to earth and the experiences about which she writes leaves the reader with a comforting sense of empathy. If The Postscript were a cake, Carrie’s obvious passion for life would be the frosting.

— Rick Norton / Editor - Cleveland Daily Banner

Carrie Classon’s column, The Postscript, is a bright spot amidst the climate disasters, politics, and the COVID-19 death count. Many readers have commented on how they enjoy a touch of lightness with her personal stories of her family, friends, and human or canine neighbors.

—Liz Fisher, Editor – Sierra County Prospect

Carrie is witty, down to earth, yet full of deep thought about everyday life and has a wonderful way of bringing a smile to your face with her words! Our readers look forward to her column every week as if she were a personal friend writing them a letter!

—Trish Jiles /Publisher - Times-Journal

Carrie takes the flow of life and spins it into shimmering literary effervescence. After reading a few of her columns, you can’t look at the so-called commonplace again without seeing a little more than was there before. She mines the ore of everyday existence and refines it, turns it to pure heart gold.

—Lou Marzeles / Publisher - The Goldendale Sentinel

Carrie's column each week never fails to bring a chuckle or smile in a world that seems like it's always surrounded by such depressing news. She's not only one of our most consistently read columnists, but one of our most popular.

—Micah Choquette / Publisher - Sapulpa Times
