To the Editor:
Thanks so much for publishing the story on AT&T;’s contributions in Oklahoma and across the nation. Whenever people think about companies that give back to communities, certainly AT&T; is one of the first — if not the first — that comes to mind.
Without a doubt, financial gifts provided by AT&T; play a large role in that company’s excellent reputation in Edmond and in the state. But volunteerism on the part of company employees is what I believe allows AT&T; to stand out in any conversation about citizenship and being a philanthropic leader in our community.
Example one of volunteerism at AT&T; starts with Jan Moran. As most everyone knows, Jan takes major time away from her managerial job duties at AT&T; to serve as chairwoman of the Edmond Area Chamber of Commerce.
Because of Jan’s commitment of time, talent and AT&T; resources, our chamber this year has — despite the challenges of a struggling economy — enjoyed one of its finest years. Our community owes Jan a great big thank you for much of our success.
I know that AT&T; has for a long time been a leader in citizenship and is quickly becoming known for its contributions to sustainability. With people like Jan leading the way, AT&T; will remain at the top of people’s minds when they think of great companies in Oklahoma.

LETTER: Supporter calls Duncan caring, interactive
To the Editor:
In my 43-year career as a professor at the University of Central Oklahoma I wrote many a letter of recommendation for deserving students for jobs, graduate and professional schools and scholarships. Those letters are read by busy people who have important decisions to contemplate and my belief is they ought to be brief and on point. This is such a letter. -
