Lindsey Davis is soothing, calming, and must be a pleasure to be around. I just started watching you since the KBJ hearings. That’s it…Lindsey is ELEGANCE personified!
I enjoy your way of reporting. I only have one request. The outfit you were wearing on tonight’s program, I could not watch you (3/2). It was beautiful but the pattern affected my eyes so painfully that I could only look at you for a few seconds at a time. No, I’m not epileptic, but it really did a number on me as far as my migraines go. I am sure you are unaware of this effect. Thank you for taking my e-mail. Keep up the great reporting.
Keep up the good work Ms. Davis. You are well liked and extremely thoughtful about how you interview people and how they respond to you. You are a role model for all young future journalists to come. As a retired African American school counselor, I often encouraged all my students both black, brown and white to follow your dreams but remember what got you there. Look back and remember the people who helped shape your views.
