Cheers from Maury Allen, the New York scribe who had a role in "The Odd Couple" movie:
Bucky,
Anybody can write sports. But dancing?
Loved your dancing column, as I did the show.
I never saw anybody as erotic on TV as Laila Ali.
I kept dreaming of being LOST with her without the scary boyfriend.
Only her mother was as good looking.
I remember Veronica from her days with Ali 30 years ago. Still looks as good.
I agree that Ohno and partner could be the next Astaire/Rogers.
Remember Rogers' line? "I did everything he did, but I did it backward."
Go Mets. Yankees IS Dead.
How about Anaheim/Mets series?
Best, Maury

Testimonials
"I highly recommend Mr. Bucky Fox as a copy editor. He edited my book, 'The Unknown King of Rock & Roll,' with great skill and pulled it together so that it was much more readable. He was highly professional, always accessible and showed remarkable alacrity regarding his work. I will continue to use his services for any future publications."
-- Dr. Charles Bogdonoff, author of "The Unknown King of Rock & Roll"
"Bucky is an incredible editor with superior skills in making a manuscript ready for mass production and media attention. Not only did he complete my editing of 'The Spill Zone' ahead of schedule, but his expertise elevated the book to a professional market-ready level."
"When I first came on board, I was looking for someone with experience and quality. Bucky has exceeded my expectations on both counts. Once Bucky was on the job, he was prompt and quick, and I was trying to catch up most of the time. With positive feedback, Bucky never let a good line go unnoticed. Bucky has been frank with my mistakes and omissions -- I changed the title of the book on Bucky’s advice. It was a learning experience in which I understood more about my strengths and weaknesses of my writing. Overall the document looks polished and more readable. (Now I miss his comments.) For the kind of quality, I feel Bucky enjoys his work and charges a lot less. It was indeed a pleasure to work with talented people like Bucky who bring the highest level of personal and professional integrity into their jobs."
-- Andrew Mennen, author of "It's Your Call: The Complete Guide to Mobile Phones"
"Bucky was extremely helpful in making my writing flow better. His expertise in editing work in the subjects of finance and investments was very valuable to me. He made sure that average Joes would understand the complicated subjects by reading my book from their perspective."
-- Art De La Rosa, author of "Wealth Grows When Your Cash Flows"
"Everything looks great. I owe you a great thanks for editing my work."
-- Joe Ross, author of "Personal Enlightenment"
"Fox is a joy to work with -- what a pro! I am an expert in my subject, the Constitution and Islam, but editing ... no, that's not me. Bucky responded quickly, and with just a bit of tweeking here and there turned an amateur work into a professional masterpiece. I am looking forward to working with Bucky again soon with my next book. His price is more than competitive; he's worth a lot more than he charges. Muhammad Ali was almost right, but he was not the greatest; Bucky Fox is!!!!!"
-- Steve Klein, author of "Rape, Taxes, Slavery, Education, Wives & Women: Is Islam Compatible With the Constitution?"
"I am grateful to Bucky Fox, the editor who took my words and arranged them for reading."
-- Rosalyn Taylor O'Neale, author of "7 Keys 2 Success: Unlocking the Passion for Diversity"
"I have known Bucky Fox for four years while we both worked at Investor’s Business Daily in Los Angeles. Bucky brings a wealth of knowledge, enthusiasm and energy to his work. His quick wit, excellent news judgment and experience make him an ideal editor. Bucky is a team player and is always ready to lend a helping hand."
-- Adelia Cellini Linecker, author of "What Color Is Your Piggy Bank? Entrepreneurial Ideas for Self-Starting Kids"
"I’ve known Bucky Fox for going on five years now, and I can’t imagine working with a sharper guy. His knowledge of the world, issues and good writing saved my copy more than a few times. On top of that, he was a pleasure to work with, always having a funny line or a laugh at the absurd. Anybody who hires him is getting a true gem and a real asset."
-- Chris Warden, journalism professor at Troy State University
"Bucky Fox and I first met more than 20 years ago when we both worked for media outlets in Heidelberg, Germany. I have always admired Bucky's high energy level regardless of the assignment or project, and I consider him the ultimate professional editor."
-- Ed Schmidt, author of "52 Great Florida Golf Getaways"
"Bucky Fox would be the first person I would hire if I owned a newspaper. He can do it all. Bucky is an excellent reporter, copy editor and editor. He's a hard worker and a fun person who brings an optimistic outlook to the workplace. It was my pleasure and good fortune to be able to work closely with him at European Stars & Stripes from 1980-1999."
-- Bob Wicker, former sports editor, city editor and managing editor of European Stars & Stripes
"I worked with Bucky Fox for two and a half years at Investor's Business Daily in Los Angeles. In his role as copy editor, I found him to be helpful, asking insightful questions, catching any style inconsistencies that may have crept into the story and ensuring that the story flowed well to make it easy to read. As special sections editor, he did a great job of clearly describing assignments, sticking to deadlines, and planning and executing sections. To sum up, I found Bucky to be a valuable member of the staff at Investor's Business Daily. It was a pleasure to work with him." -- Steve Watkins, freelance writer
"As a first-time writer trying to get published, I was leery of sending 'my baby' over the Internet 3,000 miles to a stranger. Bucky Fox was fast, efficient and professional. He edited my first book, 'Fantasy Football, Where do I Sign?,' much quicker than promised. My experience with Bucky was easy and enjoyable. Without hesitation I would work with Bucky on my next project. He took my manuscript and made it a BOOK! He did expose some flaws in my writing that will make my book more enjoyable and ultimately make me a better writer. Thanks." -- Steve Kay, author of "Sunday Audibles"
