May Healey Marque

Reid, I just received my May issue today. EXCELLENT read. One of the best I can remember.

I will second Bob’s compliment. Well done.

Thanks guys. Since I first became editor of a national Healey club publication in 1984, I have always sought to produce a general-interest magazine that would appeal to anyone interested in Healeys. That means avoiding producing a publication that is largely of interest only to members of the club. I try to produce a mag focused on the marque, not on the club.

I wish all Healey owners would get Healey Marque magazine because I'm convinced that they would find it very interesting, but I guess some are under the misimpression that it's a "club magazine" and not the "general interest Healey magazine" that it really is. Truly, some Healey owners have a remarkable level of resistance to getting a magazine about the cars they claim to enjoy. But I keep trying

Reid, the historical stuff is great but the first person interviews with folks that were "in the room where it happened" are absolutely the best. Keep it coming.

Haven't received the May issue yet but the April issue with that great action shot on the cover shouts "Read Me"... which I did, cover to cover, like every issue.

Great job Reid ! Always look forward to each new issue.

Can you get it in the UK?

Oh, yes. Please email Mike Schneider, the Membership Director, and he'll get you subscribed.

By the way, here's the May issue cover:

Reid, you must turn that around really quick! I'm reading Gary Feldman's column where he said he wrote in on April 24th.

Yes, I work fast to bring you the most current, up-to-date content in the business! Or maybe it was April 24 of last year.

The truth is, he undoubtedly meant March 24 (and I encourage contributors never to mention dates such as that because it immediately makes things seem dated by the time the mag gets into readers' hands).

Producing the mag is often a bit disorienting vis-a-vis the date. For example, the content for the June issue is all set (except for my column, which I write last) and I should be reviewing proofs within a few days. It's still only April, but I'm "operating in June." It's just the nature of the biz. That said, I really should have deleted Gary's parenthetical remark about the date. Dang, one got by the censor!

There's a preview of that June issue cover on my blog at the moment.

Great job, Reid!
