New 'Blue Ridge Guy'
I have been a subscriber for some years
now. I lived in Louisiana most my life
but traveled up to Maryland every
year for vacation. The favorite part
of my trip every year was the Tennessee, North Carolina, Virginia part. I
would read your magazine from cover
to cover to find things to do while on
vacation. I dreamed of one day being a
"Blue Ridge Guy."
In August my life changed. I was a
victim of the flood that hit Baton Rouge.
I did have insurance and though I lost
nearly everything, I was able to pay off
my mortgage, and a friend in Virginia
invited me and my eight rescued pets
to stay with him and his wife while I
figured out what I would do. I landed
in Broadway, Virginia, seven months
ago and my life has been everything I
dreamed of while reading your magazine. I found a job right away and

bought a house on an acre of property
with the Blue Ridge Mountains literally in my backyard. You planted the
dreams I am now living.
Thank you for being the one constant and now when reading the stories
they mean much more...Thank you.
-Bobby Cox, Broadway, Virginia

Worth a Smile

I'm an art director living in the East
Bay area of San Francisco, but I am
from North Carolina, where I used to
be the art director for Our State. Your
images pop up on my FB feed all the
time, and it always makes smile. Great
work-you are lucky to live in a place
that is rich with artists, photography,
talent, and gorgeous landscapes that
inspire. Keep up the the good work.
-Deanne O'Connor, San Francisco
