Craig Boddington is a class act! I called Petersen's many years ago on a Saturday. I was going to inquire about an article I had read many months before that I was sure was in Hunting. Craig Boddington answered the phone and listened to what I was trying to find out. He knew of the article and the author but it wasn't from Hunting. He discussed the article with me a bit and even gave me the author�s phone number. Here's a guy who will answer the phone on a Saturday, is knowledgeable about other mags garden variety articles , and will spend the extra time helping you get a hold of a competitors writer. I wish I would have had the presence of mind to acquit myself a bit better. From the moment he answered the phone and identified himself, I was in awe babbling like a tenth grade school girl sitting next to the captain of the football team. I couldn't believe how nice, sincere, interested and helpful he was.
I believe you can tell a lot from little brushes like this and Boddington ranks tops in my book.
