A Little Appreciation

Just wanted you to know how much the paper versions of your magazines are appreciated. Our grandson loves them all! 
Don and Lynn Minx Farmington 

From California with Love

Although I was born and raised in Franklin County, I am now just a part-time resident of Missouri. While I’m back home in New Haven, I get to collect my siblings’ saved Missouri Conservationist magazines, which I treasure and haul back to California with me. The magazines have helped me love my home state even more than when I was growing up.

I cannot wait until my husband retires so we can (hopefully) make Missouri our permanent residence. Until that time comes, the magazines keep me connected and educated and now I have great plans for retirement. Not to mention, I am no longer afraid to explore our woodsy backyard property, thanks to what I have learned through your magazine. Much heartfelt thanks to the whole department.
