To whom it may concern:
I received your publication and reviewed it thoroughly. I can see how valuable the information might be to our service population, which has a high percentage of diabetics. I would like to include this publication in our literature racks for our patients. I believe we might be able to move 50 to 100 copies of your publication each quarter, and I would like the opportunity to offer this service at our facility. I appreciate your offer and assistance in this matter.
Thank you,
Samuel L. Miller

To whom it may concern:
I am a Registered Dietitian, also a Diabetic Educator, here in Okanogan County,
North Central Washington. We are currently operating Self-Management Diabetes
classes each month in different parts of the county.
I am pleased to learn that VOICE OF THE DIABETIC is being offered free to distribute. I would like to have 100 copies each quarter to distribute with our classes. This would be so beneficial for our patients!
Thank you so very much in advance.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Mr. Bryant:
As a diabetes nurse educator here at Saints Memorial Medical Center, I have been receiving copies of the VOICE OF THE DIABETIC for the past year. I have shared many of the articles with my patients, and with the members of our Diabetes Support Group.
I would now like to be able to share the magazine with all of our clients, so I'm requesting an increase in our shipment to 150 copies per quarter. I plan to distribute the copies at our monthly support group meetings, as well as place them in the waiting rooms here at the medical center.
I look forward to each new issue, and the information it provides -- so I'm sure our clients will soon feel the same way.
Sincerely,
Alice Vergados, RN,CDE

I have no idea where I obtained a copy of THE VOICE -- but I must tell you it is an outstanding publication. I take several diabetic magazines and yours is right at the top of all of them in content. I plan to save the copy that I received as a reference. The articles were outstanding.
The issue that I have is for spring, 2002. I would like very much to have the summer edition and tape if possible. If the tape for the spring edition is still available I would greatly appreciate getting it also.
Keep up the good work -- I look forward to receiving future issues!
Most Sincerely,
Jean King

Dear Mr. Bryant,
I am a huge fan of VOICE OF THE DIABETIC, and have distributed it in my office for the last three years. I am a type 1 diabetic of 34 years, and a doctor of optometry with a practice emphasizing 'diabetic eye disease' and diabetes education. I give the VOICE to every single diabetic patient I examine (about five each clinic day).
I have written a book titled DIABETIC EYE DISEASE: LESSONS FROM A DIABETIC DOCTOR -- How to Avoid Blindness and Get Great Eye Care, which is due to be released this next March or April (Fairwood Press). It is exactly the book I needed, as a child growing up with diabetes, and in my personal battle with proliferative diabetic retinopathy. As you know, education is the key.
I thank you for your time and consideration, and congratulate you on receiving NFB's Distinguished Service Award, an honor which, based upon my avid reading of VOICE, you so richly deserve.
Sincerely,
A. Paul Chous, MA, OD
Tacoma, WA
