Saturday's editorial page included the following tribute to James Coutlakis:
When letters by James Coutlakis arrived at The Times-Dispatch, editors welcomed them. They knew Coutlakis would make strong points in vivid prose. His letters required little editing. Today’s Letters section re-publishes a letter that earned Coutlakis recognition as a Correspondent of the Day. Coutlakis died July 6 after being hit by a train. The website gofundme.com/3icvcc is accepting donations to a fund that will help pay for the education of his sons. We will miss him.Read Mr. Coutlakis' letter here.
