This letter was penned .... but not perfumed
Allen Johnson’s Sunday column (April 27) inspired me to write this by hand, with pen on yellow legal pad, to honor his nostalgic look back at a time when correspondence was done that way (although not necessarily perfumed like those he got in college on “fragrant pink and blue stationery”) rather than e-mail, as is now the case — with the exception of those few current letter writers who were mentioned in his column and which occasioned this brief effort to revive the lost art of penmanship.
Since I’ve already met the allowed word quota for News & Record letters, please ask your language expert, Mike Clark, to review the above one-sentence paragraph and tell me how to fix it.
No e-mails, please.
