We have received literally tens of thousands of emails over the past 17
years from over 40 countries! Some were critical, some offered invaluable
advice or corrections to our articles, others simply had questions. And
then there are our favorites: fan letters!
Most of the fan letters were sent anonymously through our feedback
system and I have never had a chance to thank those kind souls for taking
time out of their busy schedules to thank us for our efforts here. I want
you to know that I have personally read every single email or feedback
that has ever been sent here and have no plans to ever delegate that
responsibility.
I have included a few favorites below plus some others that are
representative of what we now receive on a weekly basis. Please keep them
coming - critical or otherwise!

"Your website is FANTASTIC!
My name's Al Chio and I am the afternoon personality at Mega 103-5
here in Miami. We play disco and classic dance from the 70's and
80's. All I needed was your website to get all the cultural
information needed! Thanks again for having an incredible website,
lots of info and easy to navigate." -- Al Chio (WMGE
Mega 103.5 FM) |

your site without a doubt." -- John Whyte |

"I am on the
reunion committee for my 20th (1984), and have been racking my
brains out trying to gather info regarding those four high school
years.
Thank you so much for having compiled what many would consider
valuable information. It has been a pleasure to look back and recall
those glorious and "awesome" days of hope, optimism, and
good, old-fashioned fun!" -- Deb Szemplinski |

"I am a blind
computer user and it is interesting to read about the things that
happened in the 80's... Thank you for the nice layout of your site.
I use a voice readout unit to read the website information." --

Response: I spent countless hours on the navigation of
this site. An email like this makes it all worthwhile. Thanks
Ronnie!

"Please
forgive me for being so rude. I had no idea it was a one person
operation. I figured it took more than one to put such an incredible
website together. My hats off to you for doing such a tremendous
job!
...I kind of lost it. Hope you can forgive me." (name
withheld)
Response: Not everyone is a fan, but I do listen to
criticism and my willingness to engage such critics has turned a few
into repeat visitors.

"Just stumbled
upon your site and think it's a great one! It brings back great
memories of a better time. Today is so hurried and complicated.
Whatever happened to those good old days? Thanks for the site, keep
up the great work." -- Jan |

"I have been
waiting for a site like yours for some time. Congratulations on an
entertaining and informative site. I look forward to much happy
reading." -- Chris L. |

"I must say, I
found this site thoroughly fascinating and quite helpful. I do a lot
of writing set in the era of the late 60's and early 70's and this
was a great help. Although I lived the era, much of that teenage
memory has faded... In all, a marvelously wonderful site. Thanks for
all the help." -- Dawn Dillingham |

"Located your site today
and am very impressed!! Very easy to use and full of all the info I
needed." -- BJ Smith |

"I love yours
site - packed with information - and presented with such wit that it
never fails to get me back to the site whenever I need a good
"intellectual" laugh! Keep up the good work!"--

"I'm a student and we're
doing a project from the years 1985-1990 and this site has really
helped us sooooooo much. This is our final project before exams and
we have to dress like they did, dance & listen to the same
music, and also give facts about the years. You've helped us with
the research and now we can work on the fun part!! Thanks soooooo
much for making this site!" -- EBR
"This is an absolutely awesome [site].... You are saving my
butt in my history class! Thank you sooooo much!"
--Audrey
Response: I did not realize how useful these sites would
prove in education when I created them, but we get lots of letters
from students of all ages. It is fast becoming the aspect of the
site I am most proud of. |

"I love this website! I
grew up in the 70's and remember just about everything! This website
couldn't be any better. Keep up the great work!" -- Kathleen

"I was never one for going
back to my childhood/teen years (always looking ahead I guess), but
when I found this site everything changed. I couldn't leave.
Thoughts, actions, feelings, you name it, came back and I am having
a ball. This site is indeed fantastic!!! I look forward to its
growth and seeing others from my generation enjoy the bygone years
long past." -- KayCee |

"Your [baseball] website is
an impressive undertaking, particularly since you seem to be
tackling every season from 1869 forward. It's certainly
understandable that you have to devote a great deal of time to it,
and I congratulate you on all your hard work." --Bill Hickman |

"I have to congratulate you
on your web site. This is what an excellent and dedicated web site
should be like; I can only wish there were more people like you in
cyberspace." --Patrick |
