Mr. Hayes, I am deeply saddened to learn that the publication of Kentucky Explorer is shutting down although I can certainly understand your reasoning. I began reading my mother-in-law's copies of the magazine back in the 90's and have subscribed for several years. I have learned so much about my home state from your magazine. Everything about it has been top-notch, from the articles to the photos and even the ads and notices. Your magazine has followed my family from Kentucky to North Carolina to Minnesota. It will be sorely missed.
