Letters
I have never written a magazine before but just wanted to compliment you on the evolution of your magazine into something really worth reading! I always liked the concept (I have a place on the Leland River in Leland). Latest issue is superb and the writing along with the beautiful photos is terrific. You have really captured the essence of all the things that make Michigan and its waters so special to so many. Please continue with the good work; I pass along the magazine to others and look forward to more of same. Many thanks.
