I subscribed to OID maybe five years ago. I mailed in my check and and anxiously awaited my first issue. After about six weeks I noticed my check hadn't cleared. I called the company's phone number and explained my situation to the fellow who answered the phone. He told me not to worry, he had my check but hadn't had time to cash it. Turns out the fellow who answered phone was Henry Emerson, the editor and publisher. This story is the company in a nutshell. I didn't get my first issue until 12 months later and subsequent issues have come out very sporadically. That being said, each issue is truly outstanding and worth the wait.., kind of like getting an unexpected Christmas present. Emerson personally signs each issue as if he is sending you a personal copy. As a side note, he recently lost his wife and mother. He wrote a heartfelt tribute to both in the most recent edition. I don't know the guy but it almost brought me to tears reading it.
