Country Living Magazine article

Post by Mike N »

A few months ago, I received an unsolicited direct message to my orca online account here from a contributing editor of Country Living Magazine asking if they could photograph a portion of the vintage fishing license badges my son and I have collected over the years. After verifying the identity of the sender, I agreed to send 30 or so badges to Atlanta. Country Living sent us mailing labels and an insurance binder. The October/November issue featured a photograph of several of the badges (not the ones I would have necessarily picked from the group) and gave its readers a link to orcaonline.org. The badges were promptly returned in safe packaging. See photos below.

Nice article and good publicity, thanks Mike. They missed an opportunity to show your line spools also. I look forward to your appearance in Cabin Life also :-)
