Hammock's Production Director Barbara Mathieson and her husband, John, were honored by The Tennessean on Friday, May 16, as three-star letter writers.

The Mathiesons were among 160 readers who took pen or mouse in hand to express their opinions on a host of topics. Barbara also has a blog that diligently reports on litter, recycling, reusing and related issues, especially in the Nashville area. Her blog has prompted a number of cleanup efforts and led to her being appointed to the Metro Nashville Beautification and Environment Commission.

This was the third time each of them had been chosen as three-star letter writers, but only the first time that had happened in the same year.

Write on, Barbara and John!
