(Editor’s Note: The following letter was sent to me by Dan Shea, loyal friend and occasional writer for The Times.
He wrote it to Ken Gewertz of the Washington University Magazine.
I asked Dan’s permission to reprint it as it eloquently expresses his appreciation for our publication.
It cannot be said enough—Thank you to staff and Board members, distributors, advertisers, and financial supporters.
It would not be possible without you.) Dear Mr. Gewertz: I was pleased both by your original interest in reprinting my essay on my coronary bypass and by its actual appearance, complete with a strikingly appropriate illustration, in the summer issue of the WU Magazine. I only regret that you were unable to honor my request that you credit the Skinker-DeBaliviere Paper with originally printing it.
The Paper, soon to be retitled The Skinker-DeBaliviere Times, is a matter of considerable local pride in our neighborhood which, as you know, borders the University. Its staff are used to working for nothing, so occasional recognition is their only pay. —Dan Shea
