Kudos and Goodbye to Tonic's Positively Good Interns

If I hear one more person say, "Boy, hasn't summer just flown by?," I will... agree with them. I can't believe that August is upon us. Sadly, this milestone also marks the end of the Summer 2009 Positively Good Writer's Program. We had a small group of talented and hard-working interns rise from the original 40+ group that signed up. They wrote and we published 146 articles.

This is likely not the last time you will hear from these writers. Some may even come back with more good news from time to time. Or, show up in the New York Times or on NPR.

Without further adieu, I'd like to acknowledge our rock star interns who participated through the very end. Click on an intern's name to see all of his or her stories.
