James Healy in People Magazine

It looks like a second story of mine is going to get the People Magazine treatment.

The first was the Delgadillo family, who got sort of engulfed in a media wave in early 2007, following my story on them in December 2006. It was compelling stuff, with one child taking care of the rest of her family while both parents were in Iraq, but there were numerous TV shows, People Magazine and who knows what else that came calling, and I suspect they may have gotten a bit overwhelmed with all the attention.

People Magazine called the office Monday, looking for contacts related to another story of mine. People’s year-end issue is doing a special article on fallen heroes, and they want to talk to the family of the late Sgt. James K. Healy about his story. I certainly found his story compelling, and I think he’s a good subject for this sort of piece. Too often, fallen soldiers are forgotten about after a single news cycle, and I think it’s nice when that doesn’t happen.
