Ken
I have not received the first quarter 2021 issue yet here in western Kentucky (Jan. Feb. Mar). I believe you said it went in the mail Feb 5?

I think it's THE BEST and I'm a member of several. Quality varies greatly depending on staff, volunteers and information available. We have the best combination of them all.

Think of our poor editor who must receive articles, have others proof read them, find photos to support the text, draw a map and then put everything together to come up with a polished issue every three months.  I believe that the excellent quality of The Arrow would suffer if it were to appear more often.
