Last week, I had a conversation with Rex Hammock about an effort related to Hurricane Katrina relief, and he informed me very briefly about a conversation he was having with the publisher of a magazine out of Louisiana who was in a tough spot in the aftermath of the regional disaster. Yesterday, he wrote about the conversations he had with Romney and Charley Richard, owners and publishers of Louisiana Cookin’ Magazine - and possible plans for how to keep the publication up and running by any means necessary.
For the blogger in all of us, it’s great to see that they did easy task #1 - started a blog. Additionally, they’re working with Rex and others to figure out how best to get the next issue written, compiled, edited, printed, and out the door to the loyal readers of the magazine. While there are obviously life and death-related things going on in New Orleans and thereabouts, seeing a positive story come out of the devastation can be fruitful for us all.
My kudos go out to Rex, the Richards and all the other people who have stepped to the plate to make this work and keep the publication alive and well.
