JanK Posted December 10, 2001 Share Posted December 10, 2001 We just received the December issue of "The Schoharie Valley Rambler" today. I thought your editor's message was outstanding. You should have no problem pulling in all those stories you're looking for.<P>In the meantime, don't hesitate to borrow stories from other regional newsletters, if it helps to get the ball rolling. Over the years, we've reprinted several stories from other newsletters (both within AACA and outside of it), and no one cared that they weren't about cars in our region. They were just happy to read something other than the dry, necessary stuff. Most editors are very willing to give you reprint permission, provided you give credit where credit is due.<BR>(And those "borrowed" stories may help your readers understand what you're looking for in the way of length, style or topic.) We'll be running the Perry story on "Life with Packards - Two Views" from the November issue of the Mississippi Valley Region's "The Autograf" in our January Beam, just because we thought it was a great story.<BR>The Perrys were even kind enough to email me the pictures that accompanied the article. Talk about cooperation between editors!<P>Jan K.<BR>Wis Region<P>PS: Just how to you pronounce "Schoharie" anyway?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordee9r (Ron Springstead) Posted December 12, 2001 Share Posted December 12, 2001 Hey Jan,<P>Thanks for your kind words and here's the answer to your question... Schoharie, an old Indian name, (my opologies to the P.C. people) that is pronounced "sko-harry". When I look at the names of your surrounding towns, I imagine that many of them are also derived from "Native American" names.(hope the P.C. people are now happy)<P>Keep up the good work on "The Beam"!

John N. Packard Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 Ron,<BR> Received your January "Rambler". Congratulations! Look forward to meeting you in Philadelphia. Keep up the good work. Now is not the time to quit!<P>jnp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordee9r (Ron Springstead) Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 Hey John,<P>Thanks for your message and, rest assured, I am signed on as "The Rambler" Editor for at least another year. I too look forward to meeting you in Philly. <P>Coincidentally, the January issue of "The Chesapeake Bulletin" showed up in my mail box today. If congratulations should go to anyone, it should be you.... or maybe you should be given "The Glutton For Punishment Award" since you wear the hats of both Region President as well as Editor. They have to be the two most time consuming jobs in any Region! <P>Maybe you should also run for the Secretary and Treasurers jobs next year and change the name to "John Packard Region"!! <P>Seriously, I DO look forward to meeting you in Philly.

24T42 Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I am going to ask a dumb question here - congratulations for what? Is it for what I think it is or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BruceW Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 24T42<P>You probably are thinking it...<P>and yes.. it is..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John N. Packard Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Ron,<BR> The trick is delegation. We have a good group of folks in Chesapeake who are always willing to help and who do a good job. Looks like you are having success recruiting some of the same type up there in Scoharie Valley land! <BR>jnp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
