E S TAT E DIR E Y CAP OR EF REAL CT R EA 2006 1996 1986 SINCE 1986 Celebrating 30 Years! We like to pause this time each year and remember our friend and the founder of this publication, Jack Davis. This year it is especially important to honor him as we celebrate our 30th year of publishing the magazine! In 1986, Jack had a vision of how this area could be marketed, a true love and eye for photography, as well as an incredible work ethic and true commitment to each client that he used to create this publication. I was blessed to work beside Jack for 24 years and to have him teach me about photography, marketing, the printing business, and the importance of putting the client first. I am honored to be able to continue to do the work Jack started 30 years ago and I thank you, our clients and readers, for allowing me to do so. We have a number of loyal readers who have kept years’ worth of our issues on their shelves. But, since most do not keep them quite as long, we are going to post to our website and Facebook page each week in the coming year the first ad that our recent advertisers ran with us. Having had a 15-28 year relationship with many of our advertisers, Emily and I think this will be a fun way to commemorate our 30th anniversary, thank our advertisers, look back at how the area has grown and, of course, see how prices have changed over the past 30 years. With Great Appreciation, Karen Zyp, Publisher Emily Tomlinson, Graphic Designer 5
