READER’S DIGEST

Running in the Family

I vividly remember my very first

Reader’s Digest. I was 12 years old

and confined to the sick bay at

boarding school.

My mother had read it for years

but I didn’t think it was a magazine

for 12 year olds who were interested

in teen magazines. But I had run

out of reading material so I thought,

Why not?I was both pleasantly

surprised and a bit annoyed that

I’d never picked one up before.

I’m now 53 and happy to report

that I’ve never missed an issue

since then. Over the years I’ve

recommended the Digest to as

many people as I possibly can.

It is always relevant and current

with word games and brilliant true

stories. I’m also very proud that two

of my children have followed in my

footsteps and read your magazine

religiously. LISA DI SILVIO

A Homeless Man’s Perspective

‘I Used to be Homeless’ (May) is a

raw, confronting article, highlighting

the desperate plight of so many in

our cities. With frightening clarity

the author gives a window into the

daily life of the homeless. Hopefully

this will prompt more practical

expressions of help. EULALIE HOLMAN

Editor’s Note: See our story on
page 36 in the Making a Difference
section about a young schoolboy
determined to do just that.
