An Open Letter to Dr. Sally

Dear Dr. Sally,




I just wrote to my friends on facebook "I wish I had had Dr. Sally's services when I was going through the ordeals of thesis writing." (I also wish I had a dollar for every time Henry James used the had had construction in his novels, which I just now used it in my letter to Facebook and afterwards saw in your writing as well.)


Today, September 2, 2010, I have turned 79!


My goals in publishing a dissertation that had been accepted at the University of New Mexico in 1968 on Dissertation.com are limited. I have 11 blogs which appear to have some following in the three months they have been up.


My main goal, as an essentially retired person, is to help others by coaching, supporting, and encouraging them to pursue their goals and dreams for a productive life as teachers, scholars, and writers.


I am frustrated today because a goodly number of people are visiting my blogsites even without the resource of the open Google search engines, but I get absolutely no feedback from my readers.


I suspect from your Google ad that you are getting significant feedback.


I would like to use you as a coach to find out how I can get a proactive readership. I would be happy to reward your mentoring advice on the terms you see fit.


Let me know if you are interested. If Google does not provide you with the names of my other blogs, I will be glad to send you the list.


Thanks for being my space friend. The other day there was a terrible Google ad in your space that was making a total mockery of what we are trying to do. You may have encountered it. Looking back on it now, however, it may have been related to your ad by discouraging people from buying research papers on the cheap online, which is, of course, a reprehensible practice.


Your Comrade in Arms as true consultants,


Jordan Richman, Ph.D.
