Sabo, Layton impressed a local aspiring writer
Two years ago, I became a member of the first group of community columnists for the News & Record. My articles were reviewed and edited by Elma Sabo. I learned a great deal from this experience and really consider myself fortunate to have had this contact. As my articles were accepted and published, I was encouraged by uplifting remarks from other members of the editorial staff as well.
Having survived as a community columnist, I felt confident enough to write letters to the editor from time to time. Through those writings, I came into contact with Becky Layton. She always called to say that my letter would be published in seven to 10 business days, however, the letters always appeared much sooner.
My thanks to you two wonderful ladies who allowed my work to be published and my thoughts to be shared with my fellow citizens. While I will miss both of you, I do wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
