Thanks to Elaine Larsen from the Bill Drake family

Byline  Bill Drake....Elaine Larsen

Pacifica Tribune/Letters to the Editor.   Thanks to Elaine by Andrea Drake

"Editor:  I would like to express my appreciation for the excellent, professional work done by Elaine Larsen at the Pacifica Tribune over the years. 

Once, several years ago, when my father, Bill Drake, was retired but still writing now and then for the Tribune, I read a story that was so well written that I knew my father had to be the author. I casually checked the byline, expecting to see "Bill Drake," and instead saw "Elaine Larsen." 

This is the ultimate compliment I can pay any journalist -- to mistake her writing for that of Bill Drake. Hats off to Elaine. She is a fine journalist and Pacifica, the Tribune, and the Drake family all owe her a sincere thank you."

Note:  The above Letter was one paragraph, broken into three for easier reading. The photograph is from eHow.com/C.K. Wren, contributor, "How to write a thank you friendship letter." "Even the most enthusiastic thank you in person cannot trump the genuine gratitude that a personalized letter can convey."
