“I hate to write this note, as it will surely crowd George's schedule. However, I feel I must give him an over-the-top salute for his proof and formatting work, plus an occasional constructive feedback comment, I much appreciate his timely responses, his queries, his thorough attention to detail when editing and proofing and his sensible creativity when formatting. He is clearly talented and positive in his work.”
