"Robb Sagendorph, Yankee Magazine's founder, created something unique in 1935," says editor Mel Allen. "He created a magazine that held the voices of a region within its bound pages. And as New England changed and evolved, so too did the magazine; the voices may be different today, but they still come from the same place. This issue is our roadmap to the fun and pride we feel about belonging to New England. Enjoy the trip!"
