About The Echo

There is an old saying, “Every time an old person dies a dictionary is lost."  Jeff Peters of Mellen, Wisconsin, has launched an exciting historical newspaper titled The Echo. Peters, a journalist and past publisher of several historical calendars said, “The paper is geared to bring the rich local histories of Wisconsin to readers of all ages.”

"I want to make sure those stories are passed down from generation to generation -- everything from the shipwrecks of the Great Lakes to Grandma's favorite recipe. I hope to connect with each Wisconsin historical society for stories and photos from their area of the state. I want people to tell tales in their own style, much like telling your "favorite" hunting or fishing story around a campfire, or sharing a special event that happened in your community," Peters said.

Peters urges historians and residents of Wisconsin to send their stories and old photos (quality reproductions or scans at 300 at dpi on a CD are preferred) to: Attention: Jeff Peters, The Echo, 31374 Long Lake Road, Mellen, WI 54546. Or e-mail them to peters@ceas.coop Subscriptions for the newspaper are $25 for the year and can be sent to the same address. It makes a perfect gift.

"Sharing the history of families and communities is what this publication is all about. I sincerely think it will find a nice niche in our great state and help keep our history alive.
