Edição Histórica 251
The Big Five-0, Perfect Harmony, Ring of Love and Friendship… these are some of the titles of our articles in this special month. Speak Up has just turned 21, a full majority (though not as long-lasting as the Jurassic Coast, I’m afraid). But the merit for our longevity can only be credited to you, dear reader, who keeps interested in Speak Up’s content, in the English language, and in the information and entertainment we provide every month. It’s been a real privilege to accompany this magazine and your reactions over all these years, and I’m thankful to God for being able to follow along until now. In this new year, you can expect more surprises, more interesting subjects and interviews; hopefully, ever-fewer mistakes and more goals. And we most sincerely expect you to be with us. Happy anniversary, long live Speak Up!
