Kudos to an Advertiser

Dear Jan,

     Following your advice to patronize our advertisers, I contacted Steve's Car Detailing in Warsaw. Within days our car looked like it was brand new! Everything was spotless, and our car sold the very next day! I know Steve takes great pride in shining antique cars for his customers. His prices are reasonable, and I was thrilled to see the excellent job he did for us. Please feel free to use me as a reference.

Thanks,

To the Editor:
     Well, our beehive entitled She Bites: The Yellow Fever Mosquito WON!!!! Second, was Beedazzled and Somewhere under the Rainbow was third. Unfortunately neither of them were pictured in your article. I did like that article and thought the reproduction of the Purple daffodil beehive was beautiful.

I found your magazine in Tappahannock, at Lowery's, while waiting for my daughter to pick up her daughter, and I must say it has been a "nostalgia trip" with real pleasure and excitement! I lived in Mathews (God's Country) for 25 years, and am so glad your periodical is giving it, and the whole Chesapeake area, the boost it deserves! I especially enjoyed the reviews of local enterprises, by some known to me, Catherine Brooks in particular. I have known her, and her husband since the 1960's, and am so happy to know she has found such a meaningful, and worthwhile (for us all) avocation! Keep up the Good work!!

You have done a great job with the magazine and several of us here in Oregon enjoy the articles. We are especially fond of River Viewpoint by Florence Muse. Thank you for your efforts and we will continue to spread the news to others we know so they can enjoy them as well. God bless...

Dear Blanche,
     I'm delighted with your review. {Sept. 2001, Chesapeake Style} To tell you the truth, I'm actually quite impressed that in such a short time you not only read the book from half-way through to end, but also understood so much of it and expressed your assessment so well. You are really good at this, aren't you? Thanks for taking the time to read the book and write the review. I can hardly wait to see the piece in Chesapeake Style and on amazon.com.

     I am presently "on the road" promoting The Golden Ones. The last couple of days I've been in my hometown of Welland in Ontario, Canada. On Friday I had a great book signing at the local bookstore. It went so well mainly because my family are very warm and outgoing. The bookstore manager said it was like having a party in the store. Many people in the mall stopped by just to see what was going on. The local newspaper also did a great interview article.

     Tonight I'm giving a free slide show of my travels in the Yucatan and Egypt in the nursing home where my Dad lives.

     In a couple of days I'm speaking in a little town where a number of people got a hold of the book, passed it around, got enthusiastic and asked me to talk to a group in the church. Then I go to Minneapolis, where my husband's friend lives to do a couple of book signings there. I'm beginning to enjoy these events although they are definitely hard work.

     Thanks again for the wonderful review. It is actually much more than I expected. When I get home, I'll give you a call.

All the best, 
Carole [Chapman]
