Blue Ridge Country - July/August 2018 - 41
JANUARY/FEBRUARY 1997
Illustration
In the planning stages, before the magazine was
launched, the hope was to use illustrations for all
covers, a la the Yankee magazine of that era. This one
would turn out to be our only illustration to date.
Inside the issue: In her 20 or so years of arduous,
delightful work in creating the annual almanac material,
Gwen Clarke used many sources, including, this particular
year, "17 residents of the Blue Ridge Nursing Center in
Stuart, Virginia," who were pleased to provide Gwen with
"so much wit and wisdom in one room!" A few samples:
* Age is a high price to pay for maturity.
* You can't plow a field by turning it over in your mind.
* A flashlight is a tube where you store dead batteries.

Certainly in the running for the magazine's classic
cover of the 30 years.
Inside the issue: Our first reader polling confirmed
what was clear to us for nearly 25 years-that
the magazine's long-time columnist, Elizabeth
Hunter, (retired from the magazine at the
end of 2014, and characterized by publisher
Richard Wells as "the heart and soul of the
magazine") was indeed the "Best Mountain
Writer." Consider no more than her opening paragraph for that issue's column: "Every
spring it happens at least once. Digging into
the good earth of my hilltop-aching back or
no-it dawns on me that there's no place I'd rather
be, nothing I'd rather be doing, no place that would
seem quite so wonderful to me as this."
