I'm Della, a long-time resident of Grand Forks. After graduating from high school, I left the Sunshine Valley for Langara College in Vancouver, but big city life didn't suit me. I returned to Grand Forks soon after, and in the late 1980s, I was hired at Boundary Community News. A few years later, I moved to the Grand Forks Gazette, where I have been ever since. I've always been fascinated with the newspaper business and I can't imagine doing anything else as a career.
