LASN Letters to the Editor February, 200302-01-03 | News



The Drafting Board

Great Section

Dear LASN: After much anticipation, I received the December issue of LASN a day or two after Christmas. The PMBR article on Brennan Estates Main Entrance looks great! You and your staff did a wonderful job with not only the content, but the design and layout as well. The use of sketches along with the photographs was very successful from a visual point of view, and I thought the hand-drawn quality of the sketches was a refreshing change from most CADD drawings done today. Also, the juxtaposition of each drawing with what was actually built worked well. I brought (the magazine) into the office today and everybody who has seen it is very impressed with the article and the entire magazine.

Kudos

Dear LASN: I just finished reading the December 2002 issue of your magazine and wanted to congratulate you on a great publication. Of all the magazines that come across my desk, I look forward to yours…great technical news, appropriate information without all the politically correct rhetoric that comes with some of the other trade journals. Keep up the good work! God Bless you and your staff in 2003.

Differing Opinion

LASN asked Brynildson: Which ideals do you speak of? I truly would appreciate hearing your views. Brynildson responded with the following:

Mr. Schmok, I?EUR??,,????'?????<

In Agreement

Dear LASN: After recently re-reading the Letters to the Editor in the November issue, specifically the letter from J. Hess of Oregon, I felt compelled to write you. I always read the letters page for the exact opposite reasons Hess criticized you for. I enjoy your viewpoints and outlook and find if refreshingly different from most publications. I would like to make a few comments on the Hess letter.

First J. Hess seems very versed in a unitarian view of world religions, but not in the person and work of the God of the Bible. If this person would study God instead of religion he/she would discover God does bless those who follow Him and His directives. (This is not a commentary on if America fits this category as a nation). Further, if God is God then inherent in being God, He is not too busy to decide whom or what He may choose to bless. Lastly, was the personal interpretation of ?EUR??,,????'?????<

Thank you for your publication. I use it monthly for its articles and reference it for specifying products. I look forward to your editorials in the future.
