April Ingram writes: On a recent trip to India I picked up a copy of YLW Connection while waiting in the airport. In New Delhi, during a long wait I had my copy sitting on the seat beside me, a man asked if I was finished reading it and if he could take it, so he traded my copy of YLW Connection for his local paper, The Hindustan Times. He was on his way to Cape Town and promised to pass it along to someone there. I spend many hours at YLW and really enjoy reading the magazine, doing the puzzles and leaving it for someone else, where ever I happen to travel to. Keep up the great work, it is so appreciated!
