Does this mean I will not get my check from them when I win the sweepstakes I was promised to win? My brother in law (God rest his soul, he is gone now) during the last 5 years of his life was convinced that he was going to win $20,000 from them. He purchased every little trinket they sent him. I do believe he was sending them at least $500 a month. They even called him on the phone to sell him things. Books, CD's, junk jewelery, etc. We tried every thing we knew to do to stop him, but he knew the check was in the mail. I hope they go belly up.

My father's mother subscribed to Life Magazine and the Reader's Digest from their inception and she saved every copy. During my summers up at their general store outside of Fairfax, SC I was as bored a child as ever lived, so I read as many of the magazines and articles as I could for a month or so out of the year. This covered the thirties, forties, and fifties, three decades of our history, the depression, WW-II, Korea, the Communist scare, up through the beginning of the space age. There was a lot to learn from those two sources, and my hours spent reading them have always served me well.
Technology is a wonderful thing in my view, but in those days, Life and Reader's Digest were much of what television and the internet are to us now.
I am with you on this one Summer, I like Reader's Digest, and whenever I am in a waiting room, I read it.
