CATHY COTTRILLhttp://naplesnews.com/staff/cathy_cottrill/I came to The Banner in 1981 straight out of journalism school and promptly fell in love with the plucky little paper that came out handwritten and undaunted after Hurricane Donna destroyed its production facilities in September 1960. <p/>Kudos to Bob and Janet Parrett for setting a standard we strive to uphold to this day. <p/>I'm an avid reader who enjoys local history, a close-knit staff, and the joy of a story well-told. <p/>A longtime vegetarian, I'm married to Butch, a charter boat captain who guides from a small marina on Captiva Island. The Cottrill family includes three Maine coon cats, two domestic shorthairs, a pair of rescued golden retrievers and a gray mare named Stella who competes with me on the national level in dressage. en-us'Two sheriffs and a postmaster' rememberedhttp://naplesnews.com/news/2009/jan/07/two-sheriffs-and-postmaster-remembered/'Two sheriffs and a postmaster' rememberedWed, 07 Jan 2009 05:00:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2009/jan/07/two-sheriffs-and-postmaster-remembered/Thirty Years Ago This Week: Tours under way at Koreshanhttp://naplesnews.com/news/2009/jan/07/thirty-years-ago-week-tours-under-way-koreshan/Thirty Years Ago This Week: Tours under way at KoreshanWed, 07 Jan 2009 05:00:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2009/jan/07/thirty-years-ago-week-tours-under-way-koreshan/30 Years Ago: Bike path sought for Hickory Boulevardhttp://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/31/30-years-ago-bike-path-sought-hickory-boulevard/30 Years Ago: Bike path sought for Hickory BoulevardWed, 31 Dec 2008 16:37:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/31/30-years-ago-bike-path-sought-hickory-boulevard/Sally Edge remembered for community servicehttp://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/31/sally-edge-remembered-community-service/Sally Edge remembered for community serviceWed, 31 Dec 2008 16:22:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/dec/31/sally-edge-remembered-community-service/Thirty Years Ago This Week: New contractor chosen for Bonita post officehttp://naplesnews.com/news/2008/aug/05/thirty-years-contractor/Thirty Years Ago This Week: New contractor chosen for Bonita post officeTue, 05 Aug 2008 04:00:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/aug/05/thirty-years-contractor/Babe Ruth tourney deemed a successhttp://naplesnews.com/news/2008/jul/22/Babe_Ruth/Babe Ruth tourney deemed a successTue, 22 Jul 2008 04:00:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/jul/22/Babe_Ruth/David Edge praised for community spirithttp://naplesnews.com/news/2008/jul/22/Edge/David Edge praised for community spiritTue, 22 Jul 2008 04:00:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/jul/22/Edge/30 years ago: Cheatham second runner-up in Miss Florida pageanthttp://naplesnews.com/news/2008/jun/25/30-years-ago-cheatham-second-runner--miss-florida-/30 years ago: Cheatham second runner-up in Miss Florida pageantWed, 25 Jun 2008 04:00:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/jun/25/30-years-ago-cheatham-second-runner--miss-florida-/Readers shared memories of Bonita’s seashell ladyhttp://naplesnews.com/news/2008/jun/24/readers-shared-memories-bonitas-seashell-lady/Readers shared memories of Bonita’s seashell ladyTue, 24 Jun 2008 20:29:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/jun/24/readers-shared-memories-bonitas-seashell-lady/Bonita lands Babe Ruth Baseball Tournament, mourns death of businessman Laverne Hartleyhttp://naplesnews.com/news/2008/jun/18/30-years-ago-today-bonita-lands-babe-ruth-baseball/Bonita lands Babe Ruth Baseball Tournament, mourns death of businessman Laverne HartleyWed, 18 Jun 2008 04:00:00 -0000http://naplesnews.com/news/2008/jun/18/30-years-ago-today-bonita-lands-babe-ruth-baseball/
