Sir: I wanted to write in response to Bruce Corcoran’s column in the Dec. 14 Chatham Voice, “No ‘roid rage for this person.” The timing, and my reading of this piece were just perfect. Seven days after reading what you wrote, I will have the delight to have Dr. Manji examining and doing procedures on my nether regions in the name of preventive colon cancer treatment.
So it was with great amusement and interest that I read and re-read your article knowing and being made more aware of what the future would hold for me. I couldn’t agree more with you on the good doctor’s approach and manner regarding all things anal. My consult with him was like discussing the plumbing in my house and not my body. Very factual and open.
So I am actually looking forward to the procedure and all that I will experience. Your column just was the icing on the cake.
My wife and I moved to Chatham just about five years ago from Ottawa and have really grown to love this town and it’s folksy, neighbourly ways. I was and am a news junky and can get my fill from online feeds, but I do greatly appreciate The Chatham Voice’s local coverage and perspective. You seem to have the knack to write on subjects that are right in line with my view of the world.
Your recent column on Chatham drivers is a perfect example. Thank you for capturing my view and opinion on drivers who are so insular that they are not aware that they are part of a bigger traffic flow picture.
And there have been numerous other subjects that you have touched on, where after reading, I say, “Bang on Bruce!”
I do love a good barbeque and your Big Green Egg creations leave my mouth watering as I vicariously go through the meal with you.
I just want to end this note by encouraging you to keep The Voice going and keep writing about what inspires you and where you find your passion. Chatham and the world need the small voices to identify and write about what impacts this world at a very personal level.
Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas. Looking forward to what strikes your fancy in 2018 and how you will convert those subjects into print.
