"I am proud to say that Publications Management and its subscriber base of marketing and communications professionals today benefit from the foundation laid by Debra. ... Debra's style is fresh, pithy, accurate, balanced and unique. Her writings always made it to the top of my in-box, especially the personality profiles she wrote -- they can be so ordinary, but she made each one extraordinary."
-- Chris McMurry, CEO of McMurry Publishing
[Debra] has a way of drawing people out and describing their surroundings that is unparalleled on my staff. Debra can turn a phrase with the best of writers, and her stories will always elicit a reaction from the reader -- be it tears, a smile, laugh or a sigh."
-- Katie O'Malley-Simpson, former editor of the Maryland Independent newspaper
"I was pleased to find at the bottom of my mail pile today the latest copy of Publications Management with our launch box article. It's great. ... I love your lively writing."
-- Sara McCabe, director, Texas Monthly Custom Publishing
"Your input [in the critique] was tremendously helpful in bringing to it the perspective of an experienced newsletter/magazine editor."
-- Janet Lape, former senior project manager with Storey Custom Publishing
"Debra was terrific to work with on this. What struck me most, however, was how she marshaled the disparate events of my life into a coherent, well-focused, to-the-point thesis. ... I sometimes wasn't at all sure why she was asking and what she was getting at. But in reading the pieces, it's clear that she knew all along."
-- Mike Winkleman, b-t-b custom publisher
"Your review of Larry Tye's book on Ed Bernays offered a remarkable balance between Bernays the con man and Bernays the educator who tutored three generations of fledgling practitioners."
-- Wes Pedersen of the Public Affairs Council
"I just read your Upfront column in the 11/2 issue of PR NEWS ('What to Do About Doubting Thomases Who Don't Believe You're a Strategist.') It was excellent!"
-- Alex Zavistovich, writer, communicator and actor
"Thanks for the November 25 cover story on AT&T and corporate volunteering. I bet Burke Stinson's phone is ringing off the hook."
-- Barbara Lohman, former VP of communications at the Points of Light Foundation
"Thank you so much for participating in BPRC's panel discussion about future trends in the public relations industry. Your remarks were excellent and right on the mark -- early feedback tells me that the meeting was judged beneficial and good."
-- Caroline Jeppi, the Baltimore Public Relations Council
"The article you wrote in the January 20 [1993] edition of the Maryland Independent, featuring Charles County's senior athletes, is outstanding. ... I am sending copies of the article to [Maryland] Governor [William Donald] Schaefer, who constantly advocates physical fitness for the senior population."
-- Susan E. Beaver, former director of the Richard R. Clark Senior Center
"Your feature story enabled us to recruit more volunteers, and even helped us in our search for funding for this important program. You did more than you know to help."
-- Camille Kouyeas, former director of the Charles County Children's Aid Society, Inc.
"Many letters to the editor, thanking Debra for her moving stories, attest to her connection with her subjects and with the community."
-- Michelle Brosco, former colleague and public relations officer for the College of Southern Maryland
