"Congratulations on your 100th year birthday - may your next hundredyears be as productive, entertaining, informative and exciting. POPULARMECHANICS has had a profound influence on my life and that of my family.My father, John Drew ATKIN, spent his entire professional life as aphotographer with your magazine. As a result, POPULAR MECHANICS was verymuch part of our lives, enabling my parents to support their family andto finance college for my sister and me. My father looked forward everyday to going into Chicago to his work and to the convivial banter withhis colleagues. During my first summer vacation from Stanford, I alsoworked there, as an assistant to the secretary of the Advertisingdirector, Mr. Perkins. This was in the days of the Windsors. Due to thesudden illness of my mother, my father retired in Aug., 1950 and we movedto Mexico City where my sister and her family were living. There is aphoto of us boarding American Airlines in your issue of that month andyear. So thank you, Popular Mechanics. You will always have the Warmestplace in my heart. ......
