A thank you to Ol' Joe, CM About: David and Effie Heskamp Dear Ed, What a pleasant surprise to "open" my Sunday morning edition of ColumbiaMagazine and find a photo of my parents, David and Effie Heskamp, on the front page. They were an attractive couple, weren't they? Actually, Mother would have been "only" 99 this year...born 1910, but who's counting? Last year, we had a great birthday party for her. Thanks to Ol' Joe and to CM for this remembrance. Sincerely, s/Ann Heskamp Curtis Thanks. The photo is one of our favorites, and they were such a memoraby attractive paid. And, I understand, it will have a prominent place in Ol' Joe's gallery. Thanks for your understanding on the bad arithmetic. We've corrected the error. I guess it would be better not to let people know that Effie Heskamp was my ACHS general math class teacher. And a good one, for those capable of learning. -EW 2009-05-17 11:49:05 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Melissa's tolerant frog reminds vet of 1 of his admirals About:The tolerant frog To ColumbiaMagazine.com I really like Melissa Taylor's photo of the tolerant frog. It reminds me of an admiral I worked for when I was in the Navy. I also like Melissa's caption. Very clever. We have a county full of good photographers and a great on-line magazine in which to display them. George Kolbenschlag Thanks! Some great humorists, too. Chuckling now. Can't figure out whether it was from the clever Tolerant Frog caption or you critique. Either way, you are right about the county being full of good photographers! The on-line magazine, if great, is so because of these and other contributors. -EW 2009-05-17 10:49:40 | Comments | Printable version
