MICOCCI President jmicocci@grandmedia.com LORI BITTER Continuum Crew, Marketing BRUCE BENNER Director of Strategic Development JACK LEVINE Director of GRANDpartners for GRANDparents ROBIN RIDDELL Vice President Strategic Development rriddell@grandmedia.com ADVERTISING SAlES I am 59 and have three wonderful grandkids, 5, 4, and 17 months. FYI, my wife and I prefer the electronic version and wish to continue it in that manner. With Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, we can and do keep in touch electronically more and more every day! I wish you well in keeping your vision to serve this growing segment of our aging population alive. I subscribe to many newsletters and find that I can glean what I need, print what I want to save, and archive as I see fit. —Rick Willard I continue to enjoy the magazine online. In today’s issue I read a story titled “Soul Food,” which was charming and poignant. You are filling a need publishing a magazine for grandparents…. We are unique and have no other vehicle in which to express ourselves! —Gloria Raskin To me, an “e-magazine” just isn’t quite the REAL thing I logged on, skeptically I enlarged the pages to 400% so I could read all the type. I noticed that the Circus ad was interactive, and I could check dates for my own city! Realized that this opens a whole new field of potential advertisers. I found an article in the table of contents, and hit on it, and to my delight, I got it without flipping pages! The article I read, about grands moving to be near their grandkids, was easy to navigate. You know what? This is a good idea! I predict great things for GRAND, and I’ll be proudly recommending it to all the high-tech grannies I know! —Judy Botvin Anne Palmer grand@grandmagazine.com Mary Ann Kent maryann@grandmagazine.com Robin Riddell rriddell@grandmagazine.com Shelley Hungerford shelleyh@grandmagazine.com DANIEL TROTTER Associate Webmaster MARK COLEMAN, CPA Controller FOLEY & LARDNER, LLP legal CENTELLA COMMUNICATIONS Internet Technology BOARD OF ADVISORS Richard J.
