Hello beautiful SILK readers,
SILK Magazine is experiencing a season of change this summer: As of this issue, I will be
taking over as editor. For my first editor’s note, I’d like to give you all a chance to get
acquainted with me.
My name is Aaron Wright (yes, spelled like a man’s). I’m relatively new to the Transcript,
joining the staff at the end of November 2009 as entertainment editor. I have always felt
that my journalistic talents leaned more toward community features so when the SILK
position came open, I was excited to be asked to take on the responsibility.
As well as being new to the Transcript and new to SILK, I am actually pretty new to
Norman. A Ponca City native, I moved to the metro-area to attend school at The
University of Central Oklahoma. After spending four years in Edmond, I have spent the
last two years living in the city. When I was offered the position in Norman, I didn’t know
what to expect from this far-south suburb. I thought it would be a town obsessed with the University of Oklahoma.
Instead, I found a great partnership between the two entities. I discovered a city agenda busy with activities for families as well as a rich
art scene. I loved Norman so much that I’m in the process of purchasing a house in the northeast side of town. I look forward to making
this wonderful town home and building a community here.
This magazine marks a historic time in my life as well. By the end of its shelf-life, I will no longer be a miss. Come June 19, I will be
changing my name to Mrs. Aaron Gray. We’re actually getting married right here in Norman, on the southeast side of town.
Well, there’s just a little about me. I hope to speak with many of you as the months progress. Please feel free to send story ideas, comments,
etc... to me.
Have a wonderful summer! Talk to you again in July.
Sincerely,
Aaron Wright
