money magazine and me - part 2

sooo... i organized a local chapter of the vanguard diehards (see below story in the strib). on the nationwide forum (diehards.org) a money magazine journalist (pat regnier) sent messages to local chapter organizers, asking for input on what we do online. so, i sent him a blurb, he asked for a picture, voila. picture and a paragraph made the cut into the magazine... my only regret is that they cropped hunter out. oh, one more regret... i asked pat to put any of my quotes in lowercase... he said it wouldn't make it by the final editor. also, it was somewhat paraphrased... i don't say "poof" too much in day to day conversation. ("puff", sure, but not poof). so, for the 2 million folks who get money, check it out jan-2008, page 70. actually, they call readership 8 million, w/ 2 million paid (libraries, offices, household members, etc).
