Eva Murray at the Maine Press Association awards dinner on October 29, 2016 in South Portland, Maine. Murray was awarded the “First Place for Local Column” award by the Maine Press Association. The award was specifically for a column she wrote in the Penobscot Bay Pilot (Rockland area online newspaper) about Maine veterans going to Washington DC with Honor Flight. Honor Flight is a volunteer support group which helps out veterans. A special motorcycle honor guard that takes Honor Flight seriously was also there making the experience a special event. The column was first run in June of 2015. Murray is a writer, journalist, educator and multi decade resident of Matinicus Island, Maine.
