LIFTING VOICES

Thrilled to be included in this Evansville Living (Insider, e-newsletter) article, “Lifting LGBTQIA+ Voices,” along with my comrades. Everyone brings something of value to the table. Together we make a difference.

Evansville Living is an important piece of the local communication picture. (The “Lifting LGBTQIA+ Voices” story in the June 24 edition of Insider) was a great service to the community, and I applaud the magazine for its effort. Also, each of the other persons featured is a treasure.

Thank you (Managing Editor) Jodi Keen and Evansville Living for your interest in our son (Philip Lawrence)! Jodi was detailed and diligent about this story! I can’t wait to read all about our son! I’ll bet you uncovered some things even the parents never knew.

Global Connections

Garry and Suzanne Bailey are no strangers to the pages of Evansville Living. Not only have the Evansville natives been subscribers since 2000, both have been featured in stories — Garry in the July/August 2017 issue for his international piano tour, and Suzanne in the January/February 2021 issue for her memoir, “Glass Heads and Hope Stones.”

“I love the quality of the front (cover) of the magazine that has, in my opinion, never been compromised with the quality itself of the magazine,” says Garry.

The Baileys have used the magazine to connect to the world. They gift subscriptions to their two sons (one lives in Nashville, Tennessee, and the other in Tallahassee, Florida), and Garry shares copies of the magazine by leaving them on airplanes. The Baileys also started the tradition of getting their issues autographed by friends when they appear in a story.

“I think the magazine is so beautifully done,” says Suzanne. “Just the visual of the magazine is one to certainly be proud of.”
