25 years of Vittles, Vintages & Voyages

by Joe Hilbers, publisher-editor


   
With this Special Edition Vittles, Vintages & Voyages begins its 25th year of publishing.

It started with the concept of providing stories on places that had actually been experienced by the writer and this has never varied. Whether written by the Editor or one of the talented professionals whose bylines appear over the story it represents the actual experiences.

The 96 previous issues have covered a lot of ground from Zermat in the shadow of the Matterhorn to the Copacabana and Ipanema beaches of Rio De Janeiro.

There have been stories from both coasts of Canada; in the U.S. from Bath, Maine to San Diego and Seattle, Washington to Miami, Florida.

We have written about visits to historic places like Valley Forge, The Alamo and that hilltop in Montana where General Custer and his men died. Visits to 24 National Parks and Monuments have been chronicled.

The Editor is on his fourth computer and the miles show on him as well. Special mention must be made of the dedicated writers who have contributed to Vittles through the decades. Regretfully for some of these writers their bylines are now gone forever.

We long ago lost count of the number of restaurants and wines that have been reviewed in Vittles' pages. However many of Vittles past stories and reviews remain on the www.vittlesvoyages.com website and current events on our blog vittlesvintagesvoyagesblog.blogspot.com.

As for the future we see no reason to change any of our original concepts and policies. We have always wanted the publication to be honest, upbeat and positive. We write about the good leaving the bad and the ugly for others to chronicle. So we move on and hope our readers will look forward to future issues of Vittles, Vintages & Voyages.
