Your interest and efforts to collect the opinions of your readers is admirable. It seems to me that I have been reading, and enjoying, Readers Digest all my life. I am 88 years old. You’ve reached out to readers in a way that, in my humble opinion, other publictions had not. Mollie F. Howard, El Paso, TX molliehoward31@aol.com
