A NOTE FROM THE PUBLICATION TEAM
Friends,
The Homefront Herald magazine has ceased publication. Saying goodbye is never easy.
There’s a trick to the ‘graceful exit.’ It begins with the vision
to recognize when a job, a life stage, or a relationship is over
— and let it go. It means leaving what’s over without denying its
validity or its past importance to our lives. It involves a sense
of future, a belief that every exit line is an entry, that we are
moving up, rather than out.
This phrase, written by Ellen Goodman(1), an American journalist and Pulitzer Prize winner, expresses how we at the Homefront Herald feel about our magazine and its accomplishments. We realize that our time has come—other aspects of our life are calling to us, and we must listen to them.
So many wonderfully talented volunteers have contributed to what we’ve always referred to as our labor of love. Mandy Kallal, the creator of the Homefront Herald and Publisher, Joy Fowler, our amazingly talented Editor-in-Chief; Darline DeMott, our membership coordinator, proof-reader, and outreach specialist; Kay Gnagey, our financial wizard and shipping department; Jim Hoffmann, our wonderfully talented graphic designer; Marilyn Sorvas and Melissa Strobel, past editors who contributed to the building of the magazine in ways a simple thank you doesn’t begin to appreciate. And others from our past, equally as important to us.
And our writers! Too many to list here, but not to appreciate fully, both individually and as a group. Their talents have enriched our lives, and left a legacy that we are so very proud of.
Finally, our readers. Without you, the Herald would not have existed at all. Thank you for caring about this labor of love.
