Hello, folks:

Ned Burke here welcoming you to Yesterday’s Magazette.
(Here I am in 1973 pasting up the very first edition of Yesterday’s Magazette.)
Contributors often ask me what kind of stories and articles does YM want.
Our Guidelines For Submissions at right is a good starting point. But in addition to personal essays, I’d like to see some general interest articles on such topics as:
*YESTERDAY’S OBJECTS – Samples: old toys, cars, clothes, collectible items, whatever.
* YESTERDAY’S FADS – Samples: the Hula-Hoop, short-shorts, hair styles like the Jackie Kennedy look, the flattop, D.A., you name it.
* YESTERDAY’S TV SHOWS/STARS – Samples: The Show of Shows, The Dick Van Dyke Show, Ed Sullivan, Colgate Comedy Hour, etc.
*YESTERDAY’S MOVIES/STARS – Samples: Citizen Kane, Rebel Without A Cause, Gone With The Wind, etc.
* YESTERDAY’S COMEDY TEAMS – Samples: Laurel and Hardy, Martin and Lewis, Abbott and Costello, etc.
These are a few ideas off the top of my head. I’m sure you can come up with a lot more.
So, in this time of economic and world uncertainty, why not return with me to Yesterday?
Right now, on my desk, I have a sign that reads: “Live in the past; it’s cheaper!”
Very true. But I’ve found that visiting the past can be a lot of fun as well.
So join me in YM’s goal of preserving our yesterdays for tomorrow’s generations.
Well, that’s it for now. As always, I look forward to your comments.

AN OPEN LETTER:
Hello, friends:
This year marks 36 years of “memories” for Yesterday’s Magazette. And, in a business where magazines such as this fall to the wayside at an alarming rate, I guess you can say it is sort of “special” for a nostalgia publication to have lasted so long.
What is the secret of YM’s success?
I believe it is due to the “Holiday Spirit” YM invokes — the sharing of something deeply personal from one human being to another. Needless to say, Yesterday’s Magazette does this all year around, not just during the holidays.
Yesterday’s Magazette gives everyone the rare opportunity to be honest and open and to say to the world: “This is what life was like for me back then. And these are the feelings I had at that time. So now you can better understand the person I am today.”
Instead of gifts, YM readers give a small part of themselves on each and every page of this unique magazine. Can any material gift be equal to this?
I know from my many years of reading our mail that YM supporters are a very loving and caring group of people. To sustain such loyalty for a publication over so many years is special indeed.
You can believe me when I say that within the pages of Yesterday’s Magazette dwells the true essence of what is good about this country and its people.
So let me take this opportunity now to wish all of you a happy and memorable new year. Your friendship, your loyalty, and your personal memories are the best gifts I can ever hope to receive.
Peace and prosperity to all of you.
Ned

The Fall 2008 Issue of YM Is Here!
Welcome!
E. P. Ned Burke
Experts scoffed at my idea of starting a magazine that would be devoted solely to the preservation of individual memories … Then the first issue of Yesterday’s Magazette came out …
Dear friend,
That was 35 years ago … and YM is still alive and kickin’.
Publishing “experts” said Yesterday’s Magazette would never last.
They said a retro magazine devoted to individual memories was a bad idea.
They said a lot of things 35 years ago.
But, as you can see, those “experts” were wrong.
Founded in 1973 as “The Original Magazine of Memories,” Yesterday’s Magazette pioneered the concept of making memories. First, as a small tabloid paper, YM soon grew into a glossy magazine with readers from coast to coast.
Today, the new YM online magazine is showcased here on the wide wonderful world of the global Internet. Now your personal memories can reach everyone on Planet Earth!
What a thrilling time for YM … and what a great opportunity for you to make and share some memories.
So, do you want to be remembered? Okay then, here’s what you do:
FIRST: Subscribe right now. It’s FREE! And no spam. Guaranteed. So don’t miss out on updates and future issues of YM. Subscribe!
NEXT: Read this current edition. (It’s user-friendly, much like our old printed version of YM.) Go to the Menu Bar and click on the Front Cover and then work your way through the numbered pages to the Back Cover, or skip around. It’s up to you.
LASTLY: Take time to COMMENT on this issue or on any article or story that moved you and then send us one of your memories. (Click on Submissions in the menu bar for details.)

Believe me, your children and grandchildren and future generations will be forever in your debt. And think how proud you will be knowing that billions of people from all over the world will have the opportunity to read a small part of your life’s story.
Thanks for the memories,
Ned
