11-1-74 To: Those Alive & Appreciators of: "Can You Top This" From: Mike Hecht Subject: Sharring's Ultimate Conclusions 1 Hope you like! 2 Fred Sharring (I'm happy to say, my friend and colleague) is the Editor of the weekly trade publication underlined: Official Board Markets. He is, in addition, an exceedingly droll fellow, and the wittiest writer of whatever 'tis been my joy to encounter. Talk about sharp -- he has super-honed razor blades in his head. Every now and then his stuff appears in the underlined: New Yorker and similar low-life publications. If his company and bosses had any sense, they'd turn over a prize or ½ or 1/3 of one of underlined : Paperboard Packaging Magazine (of which he is technical editor) to him with the charge: "Scribble down anything that comes to your mind." It would become the most widely, and avidly, read page or column in ? publication. Ever!
