This week on the News Man Weekly, host Carl Hunnell sits down with Grace Riegel, Miss Mansfield and member of the 179th Cyberspace Wing, as she prepares to compete in the upcoming Miss Ohio Scholarship Program. 

Grace shares her journey from Lexington High School to military service, her passion for advocating for students with dyslexia, and what it means to represent her hometown on a big stage. Source Media journalist and self-proclaimed Grace Riegel fangirl, Mariah Thomas also joins us for the lively discussion and to receive some life lessons from Hunnell.
