Our April/May issue featured Rob Lowe.

HOW WELL DO YOU KNOW ROB LOWE?

I love [the quiz “Rob Lowe is a...”] though I need to brush up on my trivia a bit. I thought I was the biggest fan! Rob has me beat lol.

While I’m only 48, I’m a new member and was so excited to get my first magazine and see Rob Lowe on the cover! I immediately flashed back to one of my teen magazines. I’ve enjoyed the entire issue more than any other magazine in a long time.

UPGRADE YOUR HOME

I found “Easy Fixes for Big Returns” very informative but would suggest people touch base with their homeowners association board before undertaking modifications.

THE LAST SALUTE

Being retired military and associated with many military personnel as friends, associates and family, I believe a live rendition of taps is the only way to honor a deceased comrade. Good work, Mr. Bragan. You greatly honor the fallen.

God bless you. Thank you for your service and for doing this. I listen to your taps every night.

I served 12 years in the Navy. This brought tears to my eyes. A special thanks for this wonderful service you are performing!

OLDER DOGS

I found it ironic that you published “Boot Camp for Pups” in the same issue as a profile about senior dog rescue advocate Steve Greig, “The Dogs That No One Wants ... but Him.” I volunteer for a German Shepherd rescue group and often receive surrender requests from people whose elderly parent died. I wish more seniors would follow the lead of Steve Greig and adopt older dogs who are less likely to outlive their owner, and are mellower, slower and just as adorable as any puppy.

MUSTARD, PLEASE!

I have so many varieties of mustard and use every one of them differently. My go-to is whole grain; amazing on corned beef! Thank you for highlighting an underrated condiment.

BACKPACKS VS. ROLLER BAGS

We learned our lesson in the UK last summer. Cobblestone sidewalks, stairs, crowds—my backpack was fine but my wife’s roller bag made getting around a real chore.
