“Gentleman: I have been a longtime subscriber of your wonderfully informative magazine. I feel I must sit down and write you about your latest issue. It is one of the best you have ever published. The article “Drugs With An Ileostomy written by Vicki R. Kee, is sensational and well written and easy to understand. It struck home with me as I too (like the writer) am an ileostomate. THANKS to you and TO HER. Please accept my 4+ STAR rating of THE PHOENIX and pass my thanks and praise to ALL YOUR WRITERS. I look forward to your continued rewarding articles. Yours Truly, Barnett Cohen.”
