It has long been that the St. Cloud Bloggers Association has been a three-man crew: Let Freedom Ring, Psycmeistr's Ice Palace, and the Scholars. During a recent gathering of the three of us, we decided to vote ourselves a new member.

SCBA is proud to extend a welcome to Larry Schumacher of the St. Cloud Times, whose blog we feel should be the model for those attempted at the StarTribune. We're not sure how this ranks with other awards Larry has received, but it's certainly putting him in elite company (the erstwhile Right Brothers of the PioneerPress, Mark Yost and Craig Westover, come closest to earning the distinction among MN journalist-and-bloggers.)
