 Dear Friend:

“December: A month of lights, snow, coziness, and feasts; time to make amends and tie up loose ends; finish what you started and make your wishes come true.” Unknown
Hello from Savannah, Georgia!

It’s been a busy month since our last newsletter featuring our new Way Back When history magazine, with park adventures and travels spanning Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina, and Florida. However, we have sadly also experienced some devasting and unexpected losses in our Big Blend family: Krisie Morgan whom we worked with many years ago when she manned the “town hall fortress” at the Julian Chamber of Commerce in San Diego and performed historic skits with the Julian Doves & Desperados; hiker, cyclist, author, and adventurer
Jim Ostdick; and wildlife conservationist, environmental activist and humanitarian Adam M. Roberts, Executive Director of Bethesda Green. Our hearts are with their family, friends, and colleagues.

While we’re working away on the upcoming winter issues of “Parks & Travel” and “Vacation Station” magazines, we wanted to be sure to catch you up on the latest Big Blend articles and podcast interviews from this past, plus, our upcoming Big Blend Radio shows.
