Hi Sue! I hope this email finds you well. I have had so many people reach out regarding Megs and I being in the magazine [in April’s ‘Libations’ story]. They have wonderful things to say... so, thank you . We are wondering how we get a hard copy of this magazine/particular edition!? Thanks so much,

—Lauren

Hello, Miss Lauren! Consider it done… I’ll drop off extra issues at The Frog for you. Thanks again for being so much fun to work with! –editor

As I am sitting watching a pontoon go by, perusing my [April] LAKElife Magazine… I am just to page 13 and have smiled, laughed, thought of my childhood memories, our family’s lake memories, become excited about the upcoming lake season, started to remember my Astronomy class at BSU — boy was that a shell-shock. So glad that you are back to editing/writing…

—Jerry, Webster Lake

Memories are so powerful, as are your words, Jerry. Humble thanks to you. -editor

Congratulations on a super launch for a beautiful magazine! Starting with the editor’s letter and “reading the small print” made me laugh, so I was ready to appreciate what Warsaw & Kosciusko County have to offer, something for everyone. Made me want to move there. I especially enjoyed the astronomy article (I did see the super moon on April 7 and will look forward to seeing the next one on April 26 and the Lyrids meteor showers on April 22-23), the container gardening ideas, and the calendar with so many activities, including a full library schedule of events and theater offerings. That is all besides the beauty and draw of your lovely lake life. I am looking forward to seeing more of this quality magazine.

—Mary

Thank you SO much… we’ll keep bringing more to you! -editor

Good morning Sue,

I hope you’re doing well and staying safe!

I just wanted to reach out to you about an article I read in the April issue of your magazine. Leslie Worthy’s article ‘Can Hardly Contain Myself’ really inspired me to start my own container garden on my balcony. I certainly don’t have a green thumb, but the way Leslie explained the process made it seem very accessible for me, and the passion she has for her garden really shows in the way she writes about it. Especially in these

scary, uncertain times, some nice garden therapy seems like just the thing to kick me out of my rut. Looks like I have my weekend project all set! Thanks so much! I hope you have a great weekend.

-Veronica D.

I’m so glad you’re enjoying Leslie’s column… and, we agree. A little dirt beneath the nails cleanses the soul. Thank you for reaching out, Veronica! –editor

Hi Sue,

I am Leo’s Dad and I wanted to share a photo of him cleaning up the WACF/ DNR area behind our cottage on Lake Wawasee. At the beginning of the state-wide quarantine we went to the lake for a change of scenery, and Leo (who turned 6 in March) asked me why there was so much trash along the road. So, he asked if we could clean it up. I thought it might be a “feel good” story during this tough time. Kay Young (Todd Realty) sent the same photo to The Paper. You are welcome to put it in your magazine. Have a good Summer.

-Bill Barnhorst

It’s acts of goodness like this that make publishing a wonderful industry to be in. Thank you, Bill, for sending Leo’s image and effort to us. And a note to Leo: thank you for making our world a better place. You’re the best kind of superhero. -editor
