I wonder whether Maggie Freleng

while she was at the Greenfield Recorder, ever worked with George W. Claxton. 

Claxton, for years, covered crime for the daily paper.

Det. Kevin Rowell of the Greenfield Police Department, a near-daily source for Claxton (G.P.D., not Rowell), once told me how much he enjoyed Claxton's writing style. I did, too, immensely.

If I recall correctly, I think Claxton left his Recorder job some years back for the greener pastures of Homeland Security, a smart career move, considering the future of small-town presses. But he's much missed in Franklin County.

Freleng could have learned a lot from someone as talented and experienced as Claxton.
