Thank You !
It’s been fun and frustrating getting this irst Le Magazine
e-mag out to you. Mostly fun, of course, lots of Briard news,
stories and photos can’t be anything else but fun.
This is the irst time I’ve worked with Mary Sanders and I
want to thank her and let everyone know what a fantastic
article editor she is. She’s sharp eyed and can make ok
sentences into great ones...that’s the word alchemy she
does. But it isn’t just her talent in editing Le Mag articles, it
is how she goes about it -- very upbeat and positive, which
makes the job goes so smoothly for the rest of us. Thanks
so much, Mary. I look forward to many more collaborative
efforts with you in the upcoming Le Magazine issues.
