David Elliott's Final Column
You have a rare and wonderful talent and I'll miss the intelligent perspective and colorful imagery you bring to your work. I remember calling my mom in Chicago and quoting your description of the actress with multiple piercings in "The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo" as someone who looked like she fell face first into a box of fishing tackle-something like that. Brilliant. An editor from our past wrote this to me a few years ago when I was broken hearted about the layoffs and all of it. I'll share it with you: "At some point I suspect the industry will find level, maybe. My guess is that voices, people like Nick Canepa and David Elliott will get the last laugh and be the commodity enlightened management will decide it needs - people who have a perspective, a viewpoint and the creative capacity and technical ability to make a newspaper something readers will want because of those voices." I hope to God someone is smart enough to hire you. Marcia Manna— June 14, 2012 5:53 p.m.
