Editor:
The story on Chris Hanson's move from Raymond to Windham
is much appreciated. As someone who worked with him for two years in
Raymond and is a Windham resident, I am excited for Windham’s future. I know that, given time and opportunity, he will
prove to be a great asset to our town.
My statements to your reporter were paraphrased in
the article and, for the most part, I am not displeased. However, on one
point I do take issue. I stated, “Chris Hanson knows how to work as part of a
team". I chose this wording
specifically because, to me, it has a significantly different connotation than
the hackneyed descriptive of “a team player".
I understand each publication is free to rely on its own style standards. Perhaps I am in a minority to whom double quote marks imply a verbatim quote. For the sake of clarity, may I suggest the use of single quotes when paraphrasing?
Respectfully,
Mary Quirk
