Village Books employee wins essay award

I was in Village Books late one evening a few months ago when I heard a deep radio-announcer voice coming over the loudspeaker, announcing that the store was closing for the night. I ventured downstairs and saw the announcer was my friend Sam Kaas, a 2010 Squalicum High School graduate. I asked him if making that announcement was his favorite part of his job at the bookstore, and he told me - enthusiastically - that there was absolutely nothing he didn't like about his job.
