The personalization in the lede had me hooked. It foreshadowed that it would be a great tale; it was. Great sentence structure, it flowed effortlessly, resulting in a captivating story and great journalism. High creative impact and community understanding with a layout and picture that aided and abetted the story. However, it would have been stronger had one of the pic had been a closeup.
