Neighbors
Grounded
Fingers crossed,
I waited to see how
everyone would react
when we released the
first Neighbors issue last month.

As time progressed, I stopped holding my breath and was happy
to realize that Neighbors was definitely on an upwards climb.
As we progress, we will continue to adapt to the ideas and
suggestions our readers have so readily provided. Feedback
is always what publishers and editors need the most.
Everybody is special and everyone has a story to tell. However,
this issue features a truly enjoyable article about a young lad,
Lukas Vuorinen (shown at right), that was a pure joy to write
and hopefully for you to read.
Young people dominate this issue and that is good. I remember
being their age so well but that was long ago and a new age is
dawning. We will be guided by a new generation full of ideas
beyond our wildest dreams.
Our Day Trips columnists demonstrate their versatile writing
range this month with a moving article about one of the worst
catastrophes in Wisconsin - the 1871 Peshtigo fire.
Tremendous thanks to Jeff Heinz for interviewing me on his
Sunday morning Polka show this last month and for his ongoing
support of our magazine efforts, which delivers us with tons
of new subscribers to Neighbors.
As always, I welcome your comments and suggestions. Thank
you for reading Neighbors.
Warm regards,
