Letter to the Editor

"Good for Tim H.! He's worked hard for this honor. Who are the nominees for December's Friend of Chris?"

CW Editor in Chief, U.S., and Publisher Kelly B. replies: Thanks for writing, Shawn. As I mentioned in the post announcing Tim H.'s appointment ["Breaking News: Tim H. Named November's Friend of Chris," Nov. 6], CW has done away with the controversial democratic voting procedure after the selection process became a bit too painful for our staff.

Never intended to rank or pit one friend against another, the FOC Award was created to showcase selfless, extraordinary actions on the part of Chris's friends in an effort to improve Chris's quality of life. Tim H. displayed grandiose gestures of intoxicating generosity this past weekend that made it clear to CW management that Chris is Priority One for him. With CW coming in a close Priority Two. Obviously, all of Chris's friends are clamoring to better his quality of life. But CW can only spotlight one friend a month so please don't feel that unacknowledged acts have gone unnoticed. As Chris always says, "Life is like crowd surfing. It takes the helping hands of many to move you along."

Having said that, please understand that CW management does not intend to outline Tim's "recipe for a win," lest other friends of Chris simply follow suit to win FOC. But we will say that the staff here at CW keeps a constant list of candidates and is always monitoring the actions of those in the running. And we're suckers for sycophants so don't be ashamed to squat down and pucker up if you're serious about taking December.
