    Inland Empire Magazine
    "Woman of the Year" cover, June 2012 issue

    Your "cover woman", Ellen DeGeneres, though different in style and substance, is the "new Oprah," and she deserves every bit of success and influence that comes her way. If she is "everywhere", as your article noted, we're all better off for it.

    NOTE: the original letter was somewhat longer before editing by the magazine, including discussion of a separate topic about their June 2012 issue:

    The annual "Women's Issue" in June, the month known for Father's Day? What's up with that?

    Of course, a special Women's Issue isn't really necessary these days, is it? Women's concerns, activities, accomplishments and dreams are included in every issue of IE and throughout society, as they should be.

    One more thing: your "cover woman" Ellen De Generes. Ellen, though different in style and substance, is the "new Oprah", and she deserves every bit of success and influence that comes her way. If she is "everywhere", as your article noted, we're all better off for it.
