OUR FRONT COVER
Vince Romeo and Danny Burton
I thoroughly enjoy working on the magazine ! I can ’ t even count how many I have helped with now , but I hope you enjoy what we have put together for you .
I ’ m approaching my 28th year with the ADBA . It sure doesn ’ t seem like it ’ s been that long ! So , I wanted to do something fun , and encourage you to flip through those older issues of the Gazette .
There is an issue where ( on the inside that lists my name ) we put “ Heather Bether ”. The FIRST person that can find that issue , take a photo of it , and email it to heather @ adba . cc will receive a special gift - from me , to you - just to say thank you for reading our magazine . Happy hunting ! Heather DeVito
