Dear Editor: The Patriot’s issue of Oct. 16 included an article about a staged performance of Gilbert and Sullivan’s operetta, “H.M.S. Pinafore,” coming Sunday afternoon to the Downey Theatre.

This is the first concert of the 33rd season of Chorale Bel Canto, a fine choral organization based in Whittier, whose members will sing the chorus parts.

The article’s byline credited me as the writer, and I’ve raked in lots of compliments. I just wish I had written it. But it is in fact the work of Chorale Bel Canto’s Administrative Director and Editor, Karen Bourgaize, whose sprightly words reflect perfectly the jaunty spirit of “Pinafore.”
