Each month, I look forward to receiving my copy of TPO. You have really put together one of the best trade magazines in the business. I like that you don't gear your articles to the average Joe or Jane operator, but instead leave enough meat on the bone that after 35 years in the business, I can still learn something and even be entertained.

The fact that COLE Publishing is located in the small town of Three Lakes, Wis., is fantastic. Being only 85 miles away in Ironwood, Mich., makes me feel like family.

By the way, I also wanted to let you know that I love the monthly PlantScapes feature stories. I'm always amazed by how beautiful the sites are and how artistic the operators are. The creativity of these people leaves me in awe, in the way they have turned plant sites into parks and recreational areas.

I now regret that I gave away some of my old TPO magazines and I'd love to make a scrapbook of all the PlantScapes you've put together. Anyway, you might consider putting a PlantScapes Calendar or Screen Saver together. Thank you and keep up the good work.

Sincerely,

Mark Bowman, Manager
