Carpenter colums fresh; good read

You may be pleased to know that I have been reading your items in the Bonners Ferry Herald for some time and always go to that entry before looking at any other story.

I find your writing style and freshness lends to a good read and your topics are always surprising. I had a friend (Ray Orrock, Fremont (California) Argus columnist) who kept his clippings and produced a great soft cover publication after about 200 weekly entries. Ray did quite well with the book and I would suggest that you might consider the same game plan.

 I know that I always "hit" the local book store on Main Street in Bonners Ferry when I come to visit my brother and leave with locally made cookbooks, but would also love to see your book on the shelf next summer. 

I promise you that I will purchase at least one copy.

Again, thank you for your continued efforts.
