"Of course it was a good idea to include some J.S. Bach and Blind Willie Johnson among the payloads of Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, but a transcript of a B. Elwin Sherman's humor column would do a better job, I think, of keeping the aliens at bay. Would you mess with a planet inhabited by this guy? Proceed at your own peril."

" ...Elwin: Fun piece - thank you. I'm always flattered to inspire some level of relatable pain somewhere or another. If you'd ever like to switch jobs for a week or so, drop me a line."
Mike Rowe -- TV Host: DIRTY JOBS
" ...Elwin: I don't know about great minds melding,
but maybe our minds are. Thanks for the stuff!"
Dave Barry -- Author: HISTORY OF THE MILLENNIUM (So Far)

Your sensibility is distinct, smart and funny:
somewhere east of Tom Robbins and west of Dave Barry."
Gary Morris -- Agent: DAVID BLACK LITERARY AGENCY
" ...Literate, eloquent and smooth.
Your prose is a delight."
W. Bruce Cameron -- Author:8 SIMPLE RULES FOR DATING MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER

" ...My favorite funny man!"
Judy Wallace -- AUTHOR / ENTREPRENEUR / GOURMET COOK
“ ... Smart & sassy -- Elwin's monthly columnis well-read here for its incisive wit and humor. There doesn't seem to be a subject he won't tackle -- from dieting and animal behavior to the Democratic National Convention and the first female Major League umpire. El has something to say about them all. If I had to give him a title, I'd call El "A Breath of Fresh Air!"
Eileen Alexander -- Editor: THE COOS COUNTY DEMOCRAT
