  1. Some great ones in this group. Love #2 down. Honesty is the best policy over all, but maybe not here, unless it’s soo bad, these reviews are actually an upgrade! #6 down too, with its spoiler alert. I like knowing in advance. Also like the then new ’60 Corvair Busino drew in off to the left.

  2. I have been reading the Saturday Evening Post for as long as I can remember. I remember reading True Grit from its pages, Tugboat Annie, and so many others-If Its Tuesday It Must Be Belgium are the titles that have stuck in my 83 years old memory. Thank you for the years of wonderful covers (I have the mermaid cover dated Aug 4, 1928 that you offered probably in the 70s as a poster…from it is framed and hanging in my bedroom). Keep going as long as possible!
