Preston's Pulitzer
The family of Carolynne St. Pierre faced the ultimate grief. Despite her courage, a rare cancer was killing a mother and wife long before her time. Yet she and her husband Rich invited photographer Preston Gannaway and reporter Chelsea Conaboy to chronicle Carolynne's death and its impact on their family.
The two Monitor journalists were there before and during Carolynne's death, and they returned to cover its difficult aftermath. They spent two years on the story. Rich St. Pierre referred to them as "gentle observers of our most private moments."
Yesterday, for her work on "Remember Me," Gannaway won the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for feature photography.
Here's the story behind Preston's Pulitzer.
