1961 Magazine Fall 2016 | Page 5

EDITOR’S NOTE After many months of restructuring to offer you a more engaging magazine, we are thrilled to present our newest issue – reimagined to offer more exciting and thought evoking articles. We will introduce you to inspiring individuals that are at the forefront of changing the landscape of everything from entertainment to science and everything in between. It has always been our goal to redefine what a lifestyle magazine should look like. While we will never fall short of beautiful imagery, we believe that you, our readers, deserve better than celebrity gossip and titillating articles designed to evoke the worst of emotions. We want to educate and inspire you; to put a spring in your step and hopefully, simply entertain you. NASA’S Dr. Jim Rice certainly fulfilled our wish list. Exceedingly smart, definitely handsome (we didn’t say the beautiful imagery was all scenery!), he inspires us to think not only far beyond the possibility of living on Mars, but the probability. We may only be at the recognizance stage of inhabiting the red planet, but it’s the courage and dedication of Dr. Rice that will get us there. While Dr. Rice is the Christopher Columbus of Mars, Ashley Cowie is the real life Indiana Jones that has us at the edge of our seats. Brilliant, fearless and ambitious, the lifelong adventurer and historian indulges us in riveting recounts of historical mysteries. Who knew history could be so sexy? As the long lazy days of summer draw to a close, we hope to embolden you to rekindle the adventurer within you! E VA MARIA LE WIS & JOHN ROBUL ACK
