REACTIONS TO THE MATT LAUER EDITION

I just received my copy of the Autumn 2007 edition of Huntington Quarterly with Matt Lauer on the cover, and I have to say I view it as one of the best, if not the best, issues ever from a standpoint of writing and content. We should all be proud to have such a publication promote our community!

I finally had time after Christmas to catch up on all the periodicals that I wanted to look through. I'm stretched out on the couch, there's a fire crackling away in the fireplace and snow is softly falling outside the windows. I have just finished reading your entertaining article about Matt Lauer and as I leaf through the pages, I come across the article, "Most Intriguing Architectural Structures in Huntington." I nearly fell off the couch when I turned the page to see the Greyhound Bus Depot among those honored! The Greyhound Bus Depot was truly a labor of love without disparate voices. Recognition by the Huntington Quarterly of its consequence in out community bolsters the value of our endeavor.

HQ SHOWCASES THE BEST OF HUNTINGTON

I am writing to express my appreciation and delight in your magazine. I always find the quality of photos and articles on my hometown (including places of interest and people of influence) to be very captivating and worthwhile reading. I especially like the wine tips from Matthew Debord. I find his articles well written and informative, and he gives me ideas for new wines to try, which is always a good thing. I think the city of Huntington should be very proud of the work you do.

First off, I love your magazine! I love how you and your staff present Huntington's positive side. I wish you guys would do a story about Rick Huckaby and Marshall Basketball of the 1980s. All the excitement that used to buzz through the Cam was memorable and would be a great tribute to a good man.
