To the editor:

Thank you for reminding me to renew my subscription. I meant to renew after reading your excellent article on Michael Huffaker's farm (see "Freedom farm," Illinois Heritage, V. 7, No. 3, May-June 2004). Please continue your good work.

Sincerely,

To the editor:

What a grand idea! I would like to give Illinois State Historical Society memberships to two friends of mine with a little note saying "Happy Birthday" from JoAnne. If possible, could the subscriptions begin with the splendid May-June 2005 issue of Illinois Heritage? I know they would each each very much appreciate that. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
                JoAnne R. Horowitz

Editor's Note: Gift memberships to The Society are a great way to spread the word about ISHS programs and activities, and to encourage the study of Illinois history. We encourage all current members to award a gift membership in 2005-2006.

To the editor:

Thank you again for all your work in helping Boy Scouts achieve the American Heritage Merit Badge. Your presentation, the movie, and the tour we took were most informative. I thank you for all you do for Scouting and for my troop. If you ever come Chicago way and need a friend don't hestitate to call.

Yours in Scouting,
Mick Aleksic       
          Scoutmaster, Troop 969

To the editor:

On behalf of the Homewood Historical Society, I would like to thank you and the ISHS for the "Superior Achievement" award given to us recognizing our efforts in the publication of the book Homewood Through the Years. An out-of-town commitment precluded my attendance at the recent awards luncheon, which was attended by several of our members, who all enjoyed the afternoon. Again, many thanks to you and the ISHS for sponsoring this awards presentation.

Sincerely yours,           
Karen Smith, President
           Homewood Historical Society
