Under His Influence

Your Viewpoint letters regarding Allan Malamud were very heartwarming to read. What would have even been more heartwarming was to know that all those people wrote Allan Malamud while he was alive to tell him how much they enjoyed his column.

I would like to urge all your readers to write to someone who has had an influence on their lives whether it be a sports columnist, a teacher, a coach, or whoever and thank them for making their lives a little bit richer.
