To the Editor:
I have been promising myself that I would write this letter to the editor for the past two years. Long before that time, I had found that Wednesdays were my favorite days of the week as THAT was the day I received Town Topics and within those pages would be an article by Stuart Mitchner.

Although Town Topics is, by any definition, a small-town publication, I dare say that no other newspaper in the country can boast having a writer as talented as Mr. Mitchner. His most recent article on Walt Whitman [May 6] would be my Exhibit A if I were proving my case. But my sense is that I am — through this letter — merely stating what the Town Topics readership already knows and would readily endorse. We are, as a community, simply lucky to have him, as is Town Topics. So, please consider this letter as a huge shout out and hearty “Thank you” to Mr. Mitchner for the hours we have spent reading his columns over the years.
