Our tour guide was Jasmine, a pretty young student at the nearby BYU-Hawaii campus. At the end of the tour before heading to the luau, I wanted to share some of my southwestern New Mexico culture with Jasmine. I took out the Desert Exposure I brought along to read on a beach and showed it to her. Thanks for a terrific publication!
"When I explained why I wanted to have a picture of us taken, she asked me to send her a copy of the paper if our photo appeared. So if you publish it, know that a copy will be heading out over the Pacific Ocean to Hawaii!"
Also taking us along to Hawaii were Zoe Wolfe, Shanan Wolfe and Steven Selendich.
Silver City reader Lois Murphy wrote: "The attached photo shows yet another loyal reader (that would be me) keeping up on local events, advertisers and brilliantly written commentary while more frivolous folk concentrate their attentions on the Tailgate Party for the Jimmy Buffett Concert in Tampa, Florida, Nov. 3, 2007."
Also sharing Florida scenes were Captain Karen Luknis and Captain Debra Butler, who operate Venus Charters there. Captain Debra wrote: "Captain Karen and I were enjoying our day off fishing in the Atlantic about three miles south of Key West. We always bring our Desert Exposure! We have had a subscription since our first visit to Silver City. Although we live in Key West, Florida, we vacation in New Mexico. Silver City has won our hearts and have been back twice in the past year. We love getting our Desert Exposure every month at The Southernmost Point."
