“I’ve been out of town, so I just read
the articles this morning. They’re
terrific, and I can’t thank you enough for the great Rotary piece on my dad . .
. I couldn’t be happier with all your hard work.” -- David Hyde Pierce, Actor
“We were honored to be featured . . . and also enjoyed reading the other stories you wrote about so many interesting people who are doing wonderful things in and around Saratoga. We look forward to sharing (the articles) with our friends.” -- Mary Ann Mobley & Gary Collins
"I especially loved your articles on SEABISCUIT and Andy Rooney (in the Summer 2003 edition of Saratoga Living magazine). Your publication is very slick . . . first rate. It’s something of which you and the entire community of Saratoga can be very proud." -- Jim Kambrich, WNYT-TV, Albany, NY
Having worked with editor Ann Hauprich for five years as a Saratoga Living freelancer, I must say I've never met such an upbeat editor, wholeheartedly committed to conveying her subjects with grace, accuracy, compassion, and -- when warranted -- a delightful touch of humor. As an individual, Ann lights up a room. As an editor and writer, she continually enlightens. -- Wendy Hobday Haugh, Writer
“Ann is a versatile, thorough and reliable writer/researcher . . . her portfolio speaks for itself . . . (in addition) she has enormous personal warmth. Ann is a caring and sensitive person, an excellent listener and a clear thinker . . . a person of absolute professional and personal integrity.” -- Fran Fearnley, Today’s Parent
“When she was the editor of (a little paper in southern Ontario in the late 1970s), Ann called me in to do freelance work. I remember covering one story in which a man had drowned somewhere up north. I was given the task of writing about it. I called long distance and got what I thought was a laudable story. However, Ann asked me questions I had failed to ask. Despite long distance charges that made me sweat, I went back to the phone. When I had finished, there were still questions from Ann. I called a third time. Finally the story was complete -- to Ann’s satisfaction. Yet she did all of this without criticism, with complete understanding of my novice status. I admired the professionalism Ann showed at that time and my admiration has vastly increased over the years. I wish there were more like her.” -- Barb Joy, Journalist
“Thank you, Ann, for the fabulous article "Happier By The Dozen." Truly, it sounded so much like the family of ten children that I am raising! My husband and I get plenty of comments about our family's size (both rude and kind), but we are raising blessings from God and don't mind being a bit odd by today's standards. We have so much fun together as a family, and you are right: living in a family of 12 means never having to sit on a cold toilet seat! Thanks for the positive perspective on something that most people just don't understand. And thanks for the laughs!” -- Charlotte, proud and happy mother, Spokane, Washington
