On September 5, 2007, the first edition of B.A.D. Idea News was emailed out in PDF format to 28 subscribers. It was four pages long and contained no advertisements. Now, in 2010, we have more than 1,000 email subscribers and a strong presence on the Internet.

People have asked why I picked the name ‘B.A.D. Idea News’ for this publication. Well, I’m Barbara A. Dunn (initials B.A.D.) and I had an idea …

B.A.D. Idea News is a home-based business, and I am the Editor/Publisher.

Peter Kelley is freelance writer, ad salesman and idea person.

Kitty Hegemann is the webmaster for the online version of the paper at www.badideanews.com.

The print version, Boone Trail Gazette, is published monthly and distributed on the last Thursday of the month. When times are better, we hope to publish twice a month.
