Credit:The future looked bright for Yankee Publishing in the 1990s. It launched its first website, NewEngland.com, in 1995, and was nominated twice as a finalist in the National City and Regional Magazine Awards’ category for General Excellence. Jamie Trowbridge became the company’s CEO in 1999.
For the 60th Anniversary issue, Yankee chose 60 people who made New England, well, New England.
“I would have liked to include Robb Sagendorph. He began Yankee 60 years ago this month with the mission to ‘express and, perhaps indirectly preserve’ our New England culture, something we, his descendants, attempt to do each and every month, year in and year out. Surely Robb was someone who played a role in making New England New England. True, everyone agreed, he was,” wrote editor Judson D. Hale Sr. in “Getting to 60: An Introduction” for the September 1995 issue.
Unfortunately, Robb was eliminated from the list on the basis that each member had to be alive.
