We never tire of hearing "I just love your magazine.” And we especially like hearing "I read your magazine from cover to cover.” It would be great if you could share your comments with our advertisers. Let them know that you saw their ad in the magazine—they make this publication possible. It is with sadness that we bid farewell to Bev Stenehjem, our Advertising Sales Representative. She is leaving us, and Gilroy—moving to Reno with her husband Mark. She has been a wonderful associate and reprepresentative of TODAY over the past two years and she will be sorely missed. We have a very special guy featured in this issue; he's the one on the right in the photo above with Larry and me. His name is Mike Malineo. Mike and I go way back…to the very first Gilroy Garlic Festival in 1979. Mike's band at the time, Mild Storm, was the first band that I contracted with in my position as Entertainment Chairperson. Since then, I have enjoyed his music and his cheerful disposition at numerous events. Sadly he is moving north and his last local gig will be at this year's festival. I'm going to miss him (pages 100-103). E njoy!!
