Part of being a journalist is having access to databases that can help you find anything — including a letter to the editor you apparently wrote at age 7.

My mom claims I asked her how to "theoretically" write @wausauherald and next thing she knew, this had been published.

@siraguso I agree! No need to miss them, though -- they're still around! 😃

“It’s the closest you can get to being on the ocean in the Midwest."

The Lake of the Ozarks is one of the most unusual places, in Missouri or really anywhere. @KCUR's podcast A People's History of Kansas City dives deep into its controversial creation. https://t.co/jnWXIHOJzf

Shouting out @kcur news director @larodrig who was named THE editor of the year by the Public Media Journalists Association 👏🏼🤩 @PMJATweets

@BMacJ @WhiteCastle Thank you!

[Adam Chandler @AllMyChandler]

I had a blast talking about White Castle and Kansas City's hold on hamburger history for @kcur and @PHKCpod: https://t.co/YWfxwc7J5H

@EvaRTesfaye @wausauherald The only difference between a ghost and a child dressed in a bed sheet is whether or not it is dark out.

@what_cimmy_said @wausauherald How did you feel about that? Because I know it would have VEXED me at 7 years old.

[Mackenzie Martin @_macmartin]

@KCEmilyB @wausauherald Yes!! We do need more public pools! I would write that letter today.

[Mackenzie Martin @_macmartin]

@LindseyFoat @wausauherald I think that's why I was so shocked when I found it yesterday! "Spooky" is still a regular part of my vocabulary!

@robertmentzer @wausauherald Thank you! Obviously I see some places where I could beef up some of my points 22 years later, but overall it still very much holds up.

[Mackenzie Martin @_macmartin]

@katierosenberg What is the point of glow-in-the-dark anything if the sun is still out?

[Mackenzie Martin @_macmartin]

If I'm honest, I still feel this way. And I would love an update on the current state of trick-or-treating in Wausau, Mayor @katierosenberg. I await your response.

[Mackenzie Martin @_macmartin]

@lizcookkc Liz! Just watched. Loved.

[Mackenzie Martin @_macmartin]

Major props to @savannahhawley for this deeply-reported #kchistory story. ❤️

[Savannah @savannahhawley]

The Neck was the biggest Black neighborhood in Independence, and was largely self sustaining. It was settled in the late 1800s and lived in by families for generations.

By 1969 nearly every house was demolished 🧵

I spent my hour long commute to and from high school listening to @ThisAmerLife. It's how I fell in love with journalism.

Fast forward to now. Hearing my reporting and Renee's story on the show was...simply surreal.
