Author: WGO staff

Since 1995, WGO has had a hard-core crew of regular writers who would sometimes put stories together from various sources or cut and paste information from press releases. There is usually very little actual writing involved in these operations, but someone's gotta do the cutting and pasting and assembling. WGO staff is that someone.
