Editor,
I want to express my thanks for Michelle Durand’s column, “Off the Beat.”
I live in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I moved here almost four years ago because I could no longer afford the rents in Palo Alto. Up to that time, I was an avid reader of Ms. Durand’s column, which I picked up, along with the rest of the paper, on California Avenue.
When I got here, I think I tried to find her column online, but wasn’t able to. In any case, on a recent 10-day visit, I found your paper, again on California Avenue, including her column. Unfortunately, on one of the days I thought her column was supposed to appear, I think June 14, I didn’t find it, so I called to complain.
Now that I’m back here in HCMC, I see that I can read “Off the Beat” online, and I’m very glad to be able to do so. She is a brilliant columnist and you are lucky to have her on your payroll.
I like your paper overall, too, even though it deals with San Mateo County rather than the Palo Alto area. The two Palo Alto papers, the Daily Post and the Daily News, don’t really seem like newspapers to me.
