Author's Review
My mother subscribed to Reminisce when I was a teenager, still living at home. She had a subscription to almost every magazine imaginable, and I have yet to find one as interesting as this.
One boring day (as most of my teenage days were) I was looking around for something to pass the time. I wanted to read something good, but I was a little leary of this magazine. I thought it was for "old fogeys." I have never been more wrong in my life.
I picked Reminisce out of the pile, opened the cover, and slipped into a totally different world. Suddenly, there weren't televisions in every home--only radios. Fun was spending time outdoors, and being involved with family. Life was good and wholesome.
I learned about the way the world was long before I was ever born. My mother was born in 1935, and suddenly I was transported into her era. Stories about World War II captivated me, and long lost loves reunited melted my heart.
There were recipes that my mother said reminded her of when she was a little girl. Recipes I had heard of, but never tried, were brought to life, and I was able to taste the goodness my mother always told me about.
My personal favorite part about this magazine is the contest: Find Miss Hattie's Hat Pin! Hidden somewhere in each issue of the magazine, there is a picture of a hat pin. Whoever finds the hat pin and mails in the winning entry with the correct page number on it wins a prize. The hat pins are definitely hidden well, too! I spent many hours searching and searching for that hat pin! I made sure to find it every month, although I never mailed in an entry in the contest. It was satisfaction enough to know I had found it.
I definitely recommend the magazine Reminisce to everyone--young and old! Whether it serves as a reminder of your childhood, or an introduction to life as your parents or grandparents knew it--Reminisce is an excellent magazine. You will drift away to another world while you read!
