Dear Queenie,
Hello from New York City. I returned from 3 wonderful weeks in St. Maarten; I'm a time share owner.
Every day on the island I read The Daily Herald and was moved by the discourse that arose after a student wrote to you and you chastised her for her poor language skills.
Unfortunately, I threw the paper out. I wanted to save it to use with my journalism class in a New York City high school.
Would you please send me a copy of the original “Dear Queenie” that was published.
Thank you, Queenie, and keep up the good advice to all, young and old alike.—US high school teacher
Dear Teacher,
I am arranging for you to receive a copy of that column. I hope your students find it edifying.
Thank you for your encouragement. Sometimes I feel like a voice crying in the wilderness when it comes to communication skills.
