Editor's Picks: My 10 Favorite Stories from 2012

Call me sappy, but I like the feel-good stuff.

As Patch closes the book on another year, I take this time to look back on my 10 favorite Baldwin-Whitehall stories from 2012. And I didn't write all of them!

Here is that list, in no particular order:

1.) VIDEO/PHOTOS: Over $53K Raised for Duttine-Cavataio Fund

2.) Four Scored: St. Gabe's Stages Comeback to Win Another Diocesan Crown

3.) (VIDEO) Juliana Fortunato: From Ventilator to Finish Line in Under Four Months

4.) MUST-SEE: South Baldwin Presents 'Firefighter Gangnam Style'

5.) Project Linus Quite the 'Site' at Caste Village

6.) 'A Picture Worth a Thousand Books'

7.) VIDEO: Whitehall's Jan Scheuermann Is Subject of Groundbreaking Brain Science Study

8.) Video Spotlights Refugee Literacy Program in Whitehall

9.) WATCH: Baldwin H.S. Musical Readies for Opening Night

10.) Coach Wright Headed to Pittsburgh Running HOF

Honorable Mentions: Baldwin No. 1 Fireman Honored as a Hero by Red Cross; PHOTOS: Special Days Again at Baldwin H.S.; Pirates Chairman Saves Baldwin Softball's Travel Plans; 'The Whitehall Stripes'? #PittsburghBands; It's About Passion; Stray 'Baldwin Cat' Takes to Twitter

In any event, here's to another year of news in and around Baldwin-Whitehall.

As always, thanks for reading.

Happy New Year 2013; hoping we'll see at least twice as many "feel good" stories in the coming year.

Hi Robert/Patch:
