Back in August of this year, Bryan and I took a little trip to Cordova for the week. While we were there, we visited the Cordova Visitor’s Center to see if they could recommend any trails or fishing spots. They have an entire wall of their office covered by a giant magazine rack and had just about every edition of EdibleAlaska on display. While Bryan spoke to the lady at the front desk, I perused the magazines wishing I could take some home with me.
When we got home, I remembered that wall with all those magazines and really wished I had taken one of each edition. I said to myself, “Why not?” and looked up an email address to see if they could send them to me. I typed up my request a lot better than that, of course, but that was the gist of it. I sent it off and basically forgot about it. I really didn’t think anything would come of it.
A few weeks later, I got a reply! Cindy Brinkerhoff, Program Assistant to the Cordova Chamber of Commerce, not only said she would be happy to do that for me but already had! She boxed up 13 magazines and shipped them off to my home address! All she asked was for a check to cover postage: $7.47. The box was at my front door a few days later!
To say I was astonished is an understatement, to say the least. I quickly wrote out a Thank You card, popped a check in the envelope, and sent it on its way to Cordova.
I then sat down to happily read through all my magazines! I’m so happy.
