E. McDermott accepts his inclusion into the TQR circle of closers

I'd like to congratulate you on placing GOING HOME with tqrstories for the Winter Quarter. I've attached the version I edited. If there are some slight changes you disagree with, I'm sure we can hash it out. I won't gush too much here since I will do enough of that for public consumption in the executive suite, but suffice to say your piece is mesmerizing and a damn fine example of how setting can be used to its full potential. Congratulations. I will be sending you an electronic contract shortly and sending out your $75 soon, after all the formalities have been put to rest. Type at you soon.

Dear Theodore,

I'm glad you liked it. Gush all you want, especially with money.

Seriously. I haven't read your revisions. I promise to get back to you after Christmas. In the meantime, I wish you all the good wishes of the season, peace, joy, family, and hope.

Edward McDermott
