November/December 2008

Dear Ed and Carol,

It was good to talk with you on Tuesday of this week. Ed, I just want to say thanks for the article that you wrote about my bringing up, and life on the Meadow Rock dairy farm, which my grandfather had started years ago.

My children and grandchildren thought that Dad and granddad is some kind of celebrity being published in a magazine. Again, I want to thank you and Carol for the publishing of the Cecil Soil Magazine. I read it from front to back each time that I receive a new issue. As I said before, it brings back memories.

Yes, Jean and I did celebrate that 60th anniversary together on December 5th just like we had planned. It was a great day for both of us, with daughters, sons-in-law, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A beautiful day was had by all.

As I stated the other day, Jean and I plan on being at the class reunion in Rising Sun in May and will look forward to seeing you and Carol again.

Sincerely,
Wilmer K.B. and Jean Fisher

Dear Cecil Soil,

Enclosed is my check to purchase one each of the back issues of Cecil Soil Magazine and one of your premiere issues. I enjoy the magazine very much and I didn’t get a lot of the original issues.

I’m having guests in a few weeks from North Carolina. They are natives of Cecil County and it will give them reading material while they are here. If I may ask, please rush my order!

Thank you so much — keep up the good job.

Dear Carol and Ed,

As my best friends from the Port Deposit area gave me the Cecil Soil Magazine this week, I was delighted. There was Circus Park!!

When I was 6 or 7, my parents took us to this park and on one occasion I went down the slide and broke my leg.

I was born in Havre de Grace in 1933 and have three older sisters. We all remember the park. Thank you for the article. Rosie Evans (74 years old now) Havre de Grace, Maryland


I love your magazine - just wish it came out every week! Keep up the good work.

Dear Cecil Soil Magazine,

Cecil Soil Magazine is great! It is fi lled with historic information about Cecil County along with many current events. I think the advertisements for local businesses are great. I like how you can fi ll in word puzzles, and fi gure out where pictures are in Cecil County, and win prizes for fi nding them. I like the sweatshirt I won in the May/ June puzzle drawing.

Thank you for everything,

Ed,

I just read the story Maggie did on me. I think she did a great job on it. I emailed her and told her what I thought. She put everything I wanted in the story. Now that my story is out I told Mom that she could go ahead and put up the newsletter from Fons and Porter. I want to thank you for doing the story. It made me feel really good when I read it. Thanks again and thank the lady that delivered them to Mom, too.

Thanks,

Dear Ed,

Thank you again for the article you did on my shop. I’ve had great reviews from it and some new clients.

Thanks again,

To the Publisher,

While visiting my niece in Rising Sun this summer, she introduced me to your magazine Cecil Soil. I enjoy history and learning about the various areas of the country my husband and I visit.

I don’t know if your magazine is specifically aimed at only the local residents or for tourists such as myself. If it includes the latter, perhaps a map of the county/counties with the location of the various towns/cities in each issue would be most helpful—or the cities that are mentioned in that particular issue.

I think CSM is a very interesting magazine. I enjoyed reading all the articles and columns even though I am not familiar with any of the people.

Keep up the good work!

Sincerely,
Mrs. Everett (Judy) Flatt

Publisher’s Note: Thank you Judy for this great idea. Starting in the Jan-Feb ‘09 issue we will publish a Tourism Map in CSM. We will be sending you a “Proud To Be From Cecil Soil” T-shirt.


Dear Cecil Soil,

So nice to read the article in the Cecil Soil by Mike Dixon, “Saying ‘So Long’ to the Mayor of Main Street”. My late husband (Al Hamilton) is the man in the picture that Tony is playing music with and also cutting his hair.

Al passed away about three years ago. He would go downtown and play music with Tony a lot through the years. Sometimes there would be several guys playing music with them at the same time. It was great just seeing Al and Tony’s picture in Cecil Soil Magazine.

Dear Folks at Cecil Soil,

Hello there! I recently picked up the July/August 2008 issue of your magazine while visiting my sister in Chesapeake City and was pleasantly surprised to read the article on page 60 - “Cecil County Yearbook”.

I am a member of the class of 1977 from Perryville High School and I would like to get in contact with some of my former classmates. Last year would have been my 30th reunion, but I was unaware of any celebration due to the fact that I had moved a few times since our 20th reunion.

I attended our 10th and 20th reunions, and last year was not a good one for me.

I have enclosed a SASE and if there is any way of contacting Robin (Meck) Wein to give my address to the class officers I’d appreciate it. Thank you so much!

What a great magazine! We have been reading it since its inception. We won a Cecil Soil shirt a couple years ago for your puzzle. Keep up the great work and thanks so much.
