I liked your post on thank-yous. It's great to see that so many people are closet note-writers. Thank goodness, there are lots of great parents like yours and mine out there, (forcing) encouraging their kids to learn the fine art of plain ol' manners. May we all pass it on to our own little ones. Like many life lessons, they give you the "Aw, Dad" at the time, but later they realize... well, I haven't gotten that far. Mine still gives me the "Aw, Mama." I'll have to get back to you on that. Regards, Kelly Drew,

As simple and silly as it sounds, a hand written note is one of the more powerful marketing tools out there. After you buy the stationary, it's basically free and takes about 10 minutes. I wonder what would happen to someone's business if they wrote one a day? Drew Kelly,

And not use all the fingers. Lost, indeed, but not hopeless. I think there's an e-backlash starting. May more and more people discover the power of the pen and a piece of paper! I heard a reporter talking about Charlton Heston yesterday on NPR. He had interviewed him in the 1970s for a local free weekly in D.C., I think, and a few days later he got a thank-you from him. The reporter said in his entire career it remains the only thank-you he's ever gotten from an actor. Wow. Regards, Kelly Brooke,

Amazement, that really is the word for it. I haven't stopped smiling since I wrote this, for remembering all the nice things people have said to me about thank-you notes. Glad to know another devotee of the handwritten note! Regards, Kelly Meredith,

I have friends who actually say that the person who sends the thank-you after the interview is the one who gets the job. It's that remarkable these days. Until later, Kelly P.S.

Never, never underestimate the power of a handwritten note. The impact is the same whether the thank you is for a gift, or a job interview. It sets you apart because you took the time to put pen to paper. Thanks for the words - Brett Kelly, great post today, and it is so on the money.
