Tell Us Your Story!

Your true tales are the heart of this magazine, so dust off that photo album, high school yearbook or vacation diary.

Please identify the people, city, state and year the photo was taken.

For photos sent by mail:

• Be sure your photo or reprint is in focus. Do not send photocopies; we cannot print from them. For photos sent digitally:

• Scan your photo as a JPEG file at 1200x1800 pixels, 300 dpi and 1MB.

• No scanner? Walgreens, OfficeMax and FedEx Office offer this service.

NEWSPAPER ROUTES

Did you deliver your hometown newspaper? Tell us about the experience. Did you master the art of tossing the paper on the doorstep without breaking a window? Who was your most interesting customer? What was the paper like—did you read it before delivering it? Label your story and photos “Extra! Extra!”

THE DAY I LEARNED TO...

Finish that sentence with a story about the day you learned a special skill and what it meant to you. Was it the day you figured out how to whistle? Write your name? Knit? Swim, skate or ski? Work a power drill? Did someone teach you or did you learn by yourself? Label your story and photos “The Day I Learned To.”

PICK THREE

Here’s a fun idea: Select three pictures that tell a story of your life or of someone you love. Any combo is suitable— maybe it’s you at different stages of growing up or three dear friends. Other examples: kindergarten, ninth-grade and freshman college portraits; Dad, brother and son; Mom, you and your daughter at work. Get the picture? Label your submission “Pick Three.”
