CSM believes the most important editorial in our magazine are the great letters we get from you.
It is your voices that make the most interesting stories and capture the heart of Cecil County.
We encourage you to share your thoughts and memories with us all, before they are lost.
Thank you — ETB
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.

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,
Tony Dill

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.
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.
