My aunt Sharon sent me a newspaper clipping of a Dear Abby article from December 7th, 2008 (which is, by the way, a very nice, considerate, and thoughtful thing to do).

In the response, Ms. Van Buren wrote, “Good manners are a manifestation of the respect and concern we have for others.”

I could not agree more.
