    I received my copy last week, but was so busy I did not have time to have a good look at it until today. Great to see my pic in “Face Time”. What a thrill. Thanks

    If it’s on sale now….. why do I not have my copy? I have a subscription and every other month it’s the same thing….. no magazine! Very frustrated……
