Surrounded by his posse, Tim Sayles, editor of Chesapeake Bay Magazine, spurs them onward.

Usually concerned with magazine racks, Andrew Jackson and wife Karen find a rack of a different kind. Among other responsibilities as director of operations, Andrew handles circulation at Vermont Life. (Andrew Jackson)

Don't worry, IRMA editors always carefully read what others write, whether in a magazine or on a sign next to a swimming pool (or on a Web site for that matter).
