These students all expressed a passion for writing, and they’re excited to report on their schools this year.

Also in this issue, Cathy Gordon spotlights a fascinating heart surgeon who saves lives by day – and works diligently to get our blood pumping with his magically detailed skeletons on Halloween night. We met multi-talented inventor Billy Cohn through “Hallo-Queen” Mia Parker (who was featured in our Oct. 2022 issue for her hand-crafted, hilarious Halloween scenes). Mia mentioned that she knew another Buzz resident who goes over-the-top for Halloween, and put me in touch with Billy, who wowed us with his life-saving inventions and magic tricks (metaphorically and literally). She described Billy as “inventive, musical, funny, magical, and will save countless lives with his artificial heart. He is the modern-day da Vinci!” Yes, there’s a lot of creativity and magic within these pages – and within our communities. [email protected]
