An article that appeared in the April 7 edition of The SandPaper caught the attention of David A. Robinson, the New Jersey state climatologist.

The article had said the National Weather Service’s Mount Holly office was looking for volunteers to participate in its SKYWARN effort and its Cooperative Observer Program (COOP). Robinson contacted the reporter who wrote it.

“A colleague at the NWS sent me a link to a very nice article you wrote for The SandPaper this past week,” he emailed.
