A reader asks why Charles Gusewelle's e-mail address doesn't appear at the end of his columns.
That's because he hasn't been a Star staffer for years. He writes on a freelance basis, so he doesn't have a kcstar.com account. But if you want to contact him, he checks a mailbox at the main office regularly. You can send snail mail c/o The Star (1729 Grand Blvd. KCMO 64108 -- making sure to put his name on the envelope very clearly) or you can send a message my way, and I'll print it out and leave it for him.
By the way, all Star staffers' e-mail addresses are supposed to appear at the end of stories and columns, but sometimes they're omitted to cram those extra two lines in. That's a no-no, and I've pointed it out to the copy desk scores of times. The usual format to write anyone at the paper is first initial-last name @ kcstar.com, but that doesn't work for 100% of people. I can always assist if you need to find an address.
