Magazine Article

I am so excited and wanted to share the reason with our family and friends.

A few months ago, while we were still wintering in Arizona I ran across an email from Blue Magazine put out by Blue Cross/Blue Shield. It was one of those form emails that so many times get dumped in our spam folders.

Because I was in a “relaxed” atmosphere, which is how we are most of time while down there, I took the time to read it. It was asking for people, “seniors” that were still active to submit a short article about themselves to “possibly” be published in one of the upcoming magazines.

Needless to say, when I received an actual email from the editor a few weeks later, asking me if I could elaborate more on the few lines I had sent in earlier and also attach a picture associated with them, I was really starting to get excited. Someone actually reads the things we submit…huh…go figure!

When a proof was sent to me for approval before it went to press, more amazing was the fact that not a single word of my entry was changed or deleted. It was printed it exactly the way I wrote it!

Many of you may get this magazine if you are a senior and carry BC/BS Medicare insurance, which I did at the time. The article is on page 19.

Anyway, I’m so honored to have people read about Pat and I in our “old'” age, and what fun we are still having.

Below is the actual article layout that was printed in the “Blue Summer 2011” magazine.
