"You don't write because you want to say something; you write because you have something to say. F. Scott Fitzgerald (1945) It's with Fitzgerald's words kept as a guiding light, Richard J. "SARGE" Garwood writes his award winning commentary for the Westside Journal in Port Allen, LA. Taking on the mantle of the common citizen, Garwood's not afraid to tackle the tough issues of the day whether they're on the national, regional or local level. His honest and sometimes controversial approach to analyzing issues is garnered from years of practical street experience as a Deputy Sheriff and as a man willing to step to the frontlines to better assess and confront the problem. Displaying "strong, solid writing" (Louisiana Press Association) and occasionally showing poignancy and irreverence; he expresses the depth of his, and his reader's, life experiences, Garwood goes straight to the point.
