Letter: At home with CM at sea in Belize

Ed:

Last week, my family and I went on a cruise to Mexico and Belize. The cruise line said that phone service would be available, but Bluegrass Cellular wouldn't work. On Thursday, I went to the Internet Cafe on the ship and from the country of Belize, I was able to look at Columbia Magazine and see what was happening in Adair County. Just thought I would let you know, you are truly "World Wide" Keep up the good work.

s/David Martin
Thanks so much for the note. We think this may be a first. We know it is a first reported of viewing CM from Belize. - Ed
