LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Gary, I really like the service you provide for such a reasonable
fee. My wife and I live in Northern California in the wine
country. When we were young we were professional caretakers on
some major estates. I simply want to compliment you and your
staff for keeping us informed about a very diversified field of
opportunities that you offer. Thanks, K. S., Occidental, CA

Thanks for your compliment Keith. As to your mentioning
“such a reasonable fee” - we have not had any
subscription price increases for many years. Because of the
increases in the costs of transportation, printing, ink, paper,
and postage - we will be raising the subscription rates for
postal subscriptions only, effective 8/8/08. There will be not be
subscription price increases to any of our Online subscription
rates. As of August 8, 2008 our postal subscription prices will
be:
USA POSTAL SUBSCRIPTIONS:  $34.95/year, or $59.95/2 years, or
$84.95/3 year. 

I want to let you know we were successful in hiring a caretaker
through your caretaker.org site! We only ran the one email
broadcast ad with you sending on the responses to me.  I
appreciate your very excellent service and quick responses. The
husband, wife and their family are from northern New York State
and could not be a nicer family. They are settling in and are
happy to be in a new and warmer place. Thank you for your very
professional care. S. O. Okatie, SC
  
Thanks for the update, Sue. I’m happy that your one time
email broadcast ad worked so well for you! We are doing more and
more email broadcast ads every week – so for any
subscribers who have not yet given us an email address to use,
you’re missing out on new opportunities like this one.
Please remember, if you don’t have your own email address,
you can provide us with someone else’s email address that
we can use for you.

Good day, Mr. Gary and Gazette Team: I must say, I would have
never thought I would be the one who writes a gratitude letter to
you and your staff about accepting a caretaker’s position.
I have been a subscriber to the Gazette for some time now and had
always envied those who write in and say exciting things about
caretaker positions they've accepted. Well that very same thing
just happened to Laura and me, WOW! After putting together a
short resume, we replied to a couple of ads in the Gazette. We
had several responses, however most wanted experienced and
trained folks. Then one day just recently, a response came to me
requesting a trustworthy down-to-earth couple to take care of
their estate. After talking a few days, Laura and I decided to
give it a chance and we both were very nervous. We both have
professional jobs in the inspection field and were reluctant to
take a chance but we did. So we contacted the property owners
again. They immediately flew Laura and me to their estate on
Friday for a weekend interview.  Who would have thought
“Cajun Caretakers @ 9,000 feet in Colorado”? The
visit was a very pleasant experience for Laura and I and the
homeowners are so wonderful. We returned to New Orleans on
Sunday. Over a couple of days it was obvious that we both felt a
desire to make a life changing decision to accept their offer and
move to Colorado. Our transfer will be the last week of August
2008. We are very excited and pleased to find just the type of
people we imagined to provide estate care for. My thanks and
gratitude to you and your special team at The Caretaker Gazette.
All of my friends and family here in South Louisiana and Laura's
family and friends in Florida and Tennessee are excited for us
and wish us the best.  We feel blessed.  Again we thank you and
God Bless. We will keep in contact with you with updates. Thank
You. S. and L., New Orleans, LA

Congratulations Sammy and Laura! Please keep in touch and let
us know how you progress with your exciting new adventure.

Quote: “A man is but the product of his thoughts - what he

Galiene Dennenbroek
  
When I was a little girl, before I attended kinder- garten, I
dreamed of living in an old-fashioned wooden wagon pulled by a
horse in front of it. I put on old Spanish-style clothes and
pretended that I was a gypsy or having high tea. At that time, we
were living just outside Amsterdam and we had nearly 20 cats. One
day my uncle, who was a captain on big boats, brought home a
lynx. I climbed on the "kitty" and he became my horse.
One day I made a drawing of a landscape and, as I looked at it, I
wondered, "Where is this place?”
As teenager I went to a lovely school in the center of the city.
I went to an art school for young talented children. We received
a lot of instruction in the art disciplines and we also learned
to take care of animals. After completing my education, I became
a costume/fashion designer and an artist. In the late 1980's, I
became a supervisor for rock groups in Russia. While there, I
lived with a Russian family whom I visit each winter. That
experience really opened my eyes: we had to wait in line for food
with the coupons that the family received from the government.
After I returned to Amsterdam, I met my ex-husband at one of his
exhibitions in the Netherlands. We lived, for ten years, in
Brooklyn, New York. With my background as a designer for theater
and dance, I worked primarily as a draper and an assistant
designer for Broadway and the opera. Unfortunately, our great
community fell apart after the tragedy of 9/11 and we had to
move.
After my divorce, I ended up living in several different states
but then returned to Europe. I lived in Bayreuth, Germany where I
again worked for the opera. Unfortunately, I became seriously ill
and returned to my family in Holland so I could fully recover. I
returned to work for the Dutch opera and, while I was visiting
with friends and colleagues, one of them told me about The
Caretaker Gazette. At that point, I realized that I had a choice:
go back to work for the opera or give my life a twist. At that
point, I had a deep spiritual experience and decided to give my
life a twist: I subscribed to The Caretaker Gazette.
In my first issue of the Gazette, there was an ad for a
caretaking position on an organic goat farm in New Mexico. I am a
life-long vegetarian so the position appealed to me. I went for
the idea of changing from a designer to a goat farmer. I had a
great conversation with Gary C. Dunn, the publisher of The
Caretaker Gazette, when I told him about my disappointing
experience using various websites rather than an established
publication.
After responding to the New Mexico position, I flew from
Schiphol, Amsterdam, the Netherlands to Albuquerque, where I took
the local shuttle service to a hostel. In the back of the hostel
lived people who were working in exchange for living at the
hostel. These interesting and diverse people included: a man who
wrote a book, a Native American who tried to teach me his native
language, and a woman who had undertaken her trip after her
husband passed away.
A few days later, the woman who owned the goat farm picked me up.
On the way back to the farm, we picked up several goats, and a
woman, waiting at the airport, who would also be working at the
farm. We first stayed with a friend of the woman who owned the
goat farm. This friend was like a sister to me; she had built her
own adobe home and was a life-long raw food eater. After leaving
her home, we then went to visit a Native American community where
we were given a lecture on goat raising and donated some goats.
After all of these experiences and new impressions, it was in New
Mexico where I finally found the landscape of my childhood
drawing. I finally realized that place in my dreams as a young
girl was the rural areas of New Mexico.
We finally arrived at the goat farm in the middle of the night.
Although it was very late, the people who lived on the farm were
awake and came out to call "Welcome" to us. There were
96 goats and four sheep. There were chickens, cats, and dogs
everywhere. There was a place for the goats, a place where we
milked, and the cheese-making department. I learned to milk the
goats and how to make cheese. There was a garden where I went to
gather vegetables for dinner. There were several cabins on the
property and I lived in one of them. I would often watch the
goats and the dogs would walk together through the desert
landscape: it was an unusual, beautiful and poetic image.
After leaving the goat farm, I went to Albuquerque where I taught
in the art department at the University of New Mexico. At night,
I worked in a center for children with disabilities. At this
point, I am back in Holland for a short visit but I would love to
go back to the United States to live in a place like New Mexico
or Massachusetts. Right now, I am looking in The Caretaker
Gazette and trying to decide where to go next. I would love a
paid situation because, as we say in Dutch, "the pot is
empty now." I'm confident that I will find my next great
adventure in the pages of the Gazette.
