Latest Issue - Durant Partner

Just finished reading the latest issue of the DURANT PARTNER. WOW.... Great job Carol... The pictures are sharp as a tack and the changes are superb. Would also like to thank those who contributed. As a member of the AACA I much prefer our small magazine over what they send out. CONGRATULATIONS AND THANKS....

Re: Latest Issue - Durant Partner

Ditto on your comments Yates! Got mine at lunch today and got caught sneaking a look during working hours. My boss saw "NO" humor in this ( rides motorcycles or something), but worth the trouble!! Excellent job Rick and Carol. AT LAST.... a partner with a Flint on the front cover, Great job Tom Twomey. Already looking forward to the next issue!

Re: Latest Issue - Durant Partner

Thank you Carol. The magazine looks great. Hopefully some people will start sending in reservations for the Auburn meet. Auburn will be a great place to hold the national. We are looking forward to meeting new friends as well as old ones.

Re: Latest Issue - Durant Partner

Thanks for all the kind words!! It was great doing this magazine. I hope this will stir up the pot a little so more people submit more stories and technical advice to keep the content fresh!! Wow the post office sure did a quick delivery! It went out Thursday, and seems everyone got it from sea to shining sea!
Hope the internationals get there fast!
They will be on their way!!
Now the pressure is on to get more content for the next double issue!!

Re: Latest Issue - Durant Partner

Hi Carol.
Great job you did on your first magazine. You’re so talented we are surely blessed to have you in our club. Beautiful. Sure like the sharp printing and your new headers and style. Fabulous. Course I really think it is way better than a “newsletter”. Really is a magazine for sure. Thanks again kiddo. Your tops.

My copy must come via pony express, and the horses are tired and are being fed.

Re: Latest Issue - Durant Partner

I think the horse delivered mine also but it was worth the wait. Great Job and keep up the good work.

Re: Latest Issue - Durant Partner

Hi Ken,

Someone in our US Postal service found an obscure rule that required Carol to spend extra time preparing international shipments. Copies for Canadian members went out in today’s mail. So Carol not only created the magazine, but she packaged it, printed the stamps and prepared it for mailing.

Domestic mail used a mailing permit for the first time. In most cases this speeded up delivery, but more importantly it did away with that ugly cancellation mark we’ve all seen in the past.

My copy arrived today, and while I have not read all of the articles, the covers are fantastic.

To the editor Bravo Zulu!

Re: Latest Issue - Durant Partner

I am not blaming you for the time it takes for my issue to arrive--It is our mail service that is at fault here. We should return to the days of the pony express - I am sure it would be as fast -(and it would be less costly too). I know you folks have done the best anyone could do - I am anxiuos to see it though after all the nice remarks about it . I am sure it is going to be a good one
