Nice article in BC Magazine. You may not speak for your employer, but they are clearly proud to have you:)

Just to be clear, one thing Gretchen and I are thankful for this year, as in the past, is the informed, gracious, sometimes exciting essays of Heather Cox Richardson. Hooray! Ed Hillard, Palo Alto, CA

When I count up the people I am grateful for this Thanksgiving, you are way, way up on the list. You have educated, inspired, and strengthened me through your Letters.

Dear Heather, every day I want to write and thank you for your precise, on the dime comments and perspectives. You keep us updated to the latest information cradled in history that gives us a nuanced perspective.

I am also glad that you realize when you need to take the night off but leave us with a magnificent picture to contemplate in a part of the world that seems more serene than much of our settled landscapes.

I was so happy to hear of your recent wedding and know that he must be a very special person to cherish and share your life together.

In admiration and appreciation

Your observations which come to me each night on the west coast about 10 pm help me drift off to sleep secure in the knowledge that superb people like you are anchoring basic people like me.

Buddy, the light in your photo is beautiful; the orange glow as the sun rises casts a magical spell. Reality in America is flashing distress signals.

That you are almost finished with your manuscript, HRC, as the season turns means that Americans will be blessed by a book imbued with a deep sense of the country's condition. That is our condition, the people's condition, whether we know it or not. Many of us do feel the weight of it.

Thank you, HCR, for your clear vision and concern.
