We publish almost 4,000 letters a year from readers and many of the names of the authors have become familiar to you. Although, you read their opinions, you generally don’t know much more about them than their names and hometowns.

But starting Sunday, we’re going to run a feature that introduces you to some of our letter writers in a bit more depth. We plan to run the feature once a week, although there will be times that we use the space for expanded special features. Pam Rowse, the administrative assistant for the opinion pages, is gathering the material about our letter writers.

On Sunday, meet Lucile Wheaton on the letters page of The Bee’s Vision section. She’s been a Bee reader since 1976. But there's much more that you'll want to know about Lucile. Check it out.
