Reykjavík Grapevine - 03.07.2015, Blaðsíða 4

Best Letter
Writer:
Nigel Ferris
In the spirit of our Best of Reykjavík
issue, we’ve decided to pick a best letter
writer. Hands down, that award goes to
Nigel Ferris.
Since October, he has written us
something like 100 letters with regard to
a book that he’s writing. It has the work-
ing title ‘A DAY TRIP IN CONCORDE
TO ICELAND ON MARCH 2’ and it is
about exactly that.
“I am in the process of writing a story
about my day trip in Concord to your
beautiful country that I made the day
after I became 50 years old. That is
on the 22nd August 1987,” he wrote
in letter #1. “I took with me my wife
and two daughters one aged 15 and
the other aged 13.It so happened that
when we were coming into land at
Reykjavic our pilot told us that the
control tower of Reykjavic had asked
him if he would fly low over Iceland
because the people of Iceland had
never seen Concord all they had done
was hear it.”
In lieu of awarding him the usual pair of
socks, we’ve decided to give him a FREE
AD and a Grapevine t-shirt (Nigel, send
us a letter to claim your t-shirt!)!
