Fred Rush, Adrianne Rush, Johnny Johnson and Dr. William Trice are among the noted people we quoted this month. They gave us some incredible history. A lot of that history has been taken from diaries and letters, and we have an article on the importance of love letters in our lives.

Thanks to all our wonderful writers who put this package together. Take time to read the entire issue. It’s one of our best, but I am a little biased. I say that every month.
