To Whom it May Concerned
My name is Viktorija Briggs. I am the Owner/Editor/Publisher
of The Sheridan Sentinel, formerly The Hoxie Sentinel. We are a
140-year-old newspaper in Hoxie, Sheridan County, Kansas. We are the official newspaper
of Sheridan County, City of Hoxie, and City of Selden. Shawn Larson requested a
Letter of Recommendation from me as we worked together in a 2-person office for
almost two years prior to his move to Texas in 2016.
Shawn hired me as a receptionist and to execute other office
& newspaper duties. Shawn was the best supervisor I ever worked with, as I
have almost always been self-employed with rare exceptions, because I ‘don’t
work well with others’ as an employee. However, Shawn and I worked very well
together. His office was always open and welcome. He, his wife, and I became
friends as well.
Shawn is a person who does not ‘dictate’ but will listen – and hear – and offer advice, if requested. He is mild-mannered and soft-spoken, but no pushover. His presence commands respect and brings out the best in others. His strong faith guides his words and actions, and he is a true blessing of a person and supervisor. I highly recommend Shawn Larson.
If you need any further assistance, you may contact me at
the information provided in the letterhead.
Thank you,
Viktorija Briggs
