What readers are saying about The ECHO…
“Paleobiologist J.W. Schopf has observed that for 4/5’s of our history the world was populated by pond scum. The Echo is doing a great job of chronicling what has happened during the remaining 1/5 in Wisconsin. Every edition has been great! Keep up the good work.”
Don Baur, Washington, D.C.

Dear Jeff,
Just a short note to offer you my gratitude for the use of a photo you took at my installation. I also want to offer my compliments and the promise of my prayers as you continue the great work of publishing The Echo. You capture so beautifully the life of Wisconsin on the southern shore of Lake Superior. Your photos inspire my desire to once again pick up a brush and paint. Blessings to you and the work you do.”
In gratitude,
Diocese of Superior Bishop Peter F. Christensen

Dear Jeff,
“I want to thank you for publishing The Echo. Your emphasis on Wisconsin history, excellent writing and remarkable collection of photographs make each issue a collector’s item. Good job!”

“The fascinating history of Northern Wisconsin, from the forests of the North Woods to the shores of Lake Superior, has long been overlooked. It’s wonderful to see The Echo filling that gap with such style.”
Bob Mackreth, retired National Park Service historian

Hi, Jeff,
“The paper is really neat–I shared my copy with Wendee today. I do believe you are on to something here… As we age, we certainly enjoy some stories from the past and the memories shared in The Echo are super!”
Kathy Wagner, Park Falls, WI

“Jeff, I wanted to tell you that the Christmas issue of The Echo was absolutely fantastic: from the layout, pictures (and their quality), to the articles. It was just a super little Christmas treat. You should be very proud.”
Dr. Kevin McClelland, M.D., Ashland, WI

“Jeff, I thought your November-December edition of The Echo was outstanding! The color photos, historic photos and the history were exceptional. Best small newspaper in the Nation.”

“The Echo is really a breath of fresh air… I like the recipes too. Good job. I’ll get a check out to you for a subscription by next week.”

“I enjoyed the March-April 2008 Echo. I especially like the history of the lighthouse on Sand Island as there were some new things in it that I hadn’t known about during its construction. Art Harris’ article on the Allen boy was also very interesting to read. To have made the ultimate sacrifice in that war was such a shock for the small town of Bayfield. I believe “Wattse” Soulier died before Merlin, but loosing the two of them in the prime of their lives shook up the town for quite awhile. I have never been to the Lake Superior ice caves, so your pictures took me there without getting cold. Good job.”
Bob Dahl, Jacksonville, Florida

Jeff, This paper is wonderful and I hope you get many more subscriptions. I’m also very impressed with the article on your family. That is quite an honor.”

Hi, Jeff,
Got my copy of The Echo and it is wonderful! I haven’t had a chance to read everything, but it looks like a great issue. Keep up the good work and let me know if you want another story some day.”

Hi Jeff,
All components to The Echo were wonderful to read, but as you could expect I was excited that the Rocky Island (Apostle Islands) contribution was very well received by my parents, Barby Brown, and me. Thanks for that entry into a wonderful newspaper dedicated to our past.”
Bob Nelson, Bayfield, WI

Dear Jeff,
“…keep up your very interesting work on The Echo, I read each issue of it completely. I always find the stories about people, places, etc. very interesting.”
Merle Lang, Waupaca, WI

Hi, Jeff,
“I read your paper – and what a paper it is! All the stuff you have in there is amazing. Enclosed is my subscription to the ECHO for the upcoming year, and thank you again for a fine product.”

“Jeff, I was very impressed with your newspaper – The Echo.”

Dear Jeff,
We’ve been receiving and enjoying the “Echo” for about a year and a half and we usually enjoy the articles and especially the photos. But this last issue was really
extraordinarily fine. We particularly liked the articles about the
Lattimer house and Julius Austrian (though the “Piano” piece and the
one about Sand Island were pretty good too). Once again, the photos
were superb, the lighthouse on the first page and the inner fold
especially, but also the historical photos.
Thanks for providing so much pleasure with the pieces of history.
Sincerely,
Bob and Jeanne Tabachnick
