Thank you for you wonderful tribute to her.<br /><br />Kindredly, Lynne LauraAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11726283700184261395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862324274932904205.post-60911311086844164132009-10-13T07:53:29.213-04:002009-10-13T07:53:29.213-04:00As someone who writes captions and proofs copy for...As someone who writes captions and proofs copy for a living, I'm so thrilled to be reading this lovely tribute to that particular genius of yours, Nancy. I have limited my routine purchases (like bathroom items, household goods and such) to those I found championed in Victoria for years (Crabtree & E, Godiva, etc) and those impeccable captions were often selling points that tipped the deal towards them. I often tell my team members that we don't have to simply describe what the reader SEES, we have to provide something more alluring---exactly what your Ms. Morris did. This is a marvelous tribute; thanks so very much for sharing it. I wish I could meet this woman and shake her hand for elevating what some would consider not-very-glamourous work to the fine art it is. <br />Warmly and appreciatively,<br />Karen MarlineAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862324274932904205.post-51366225548079554822009-10-09T17:49:45.770-04:002009-10-09T17:49:45.770-04:00I'm so enjoying these behind-the-page peaks at...I'm so enjoying these behind-the-page peaks at Victoria.

This is fascinating reading. The editing at Victoria was impeccable and was just another piece of what made the magazine great. There's a reason I'm still carrying around these twenty-year-old magazines and reading them in favor of whatever is now on the newsstand.Lauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5862324274932904205.post-12712258884163861532009-10-08T19:32:24.449-04:002009-10-08T19:32:24.449-04:00Thank you Nancy. Your wonderful tribute to Mary, ...Thank you Nancy. Your wonderful tribute to Mary, an unseen talent, made me run right back to my Victorias again. I looked at several favorite issues with a fresh eye and new appreciation. <br /><br />I worked as a secretary and later as an administrative assistant (just a fancy name for secretary) for many years before my retirement. I was fortunate enough to work with some exceptional leaders at our community college. My last supervisor, a young man, hated the word boss and insisted that we worked together as a team. Since he was only 30 and I was twice his age, I truly appreciated our working relationship. It gives each of us a sense of pride to take any project and put our own touch to it. It surely sounds like Mary felt this too. Sharing Mary's vital position as part of the Victoria team with us shows such perfect teamwork. The more you share about your staff, the more I realize why we all love Victoria so much.<br /><br />I am so anticipating all of your literary projects.

If I had something I needed to buy, I would wait for my new Victoria first because whatever was in Favorite Things, I wanted and it wasn't just because of the fine photographs. It was because of the way the copy was written. Even something as simple as a shampoo. The text captured my imagination. Nancy, I use to love the drawing of your assistant Helen Killeen in her pince nez glasses staring down at me and telling me she would help me with my subscription if I needed it. Would love to hear about her too.<br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />DonnaA Lovely Inconsequencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15609925729312148318noreply@blogger.com
