Pam Koner, Fed Ex and Family-to-Family have been named: PLEASANTVILLE, NY (April 21, 2005) – Pam Koner, Federal Express and Family-to-Family have been named “Best of America” by the editors of Reader’s Digest magazine. This celebration of the wacky, wonderful and truly unique is featured in the May issue, on newsstands now. The editorial team of Reader’s Digest scoured the country to compile the second annual “America’s 100 Best” issue, naming the 100 best people, places, ideas and innovations found only in America. After speaking to hundreds of experts and ordinary folk, the editors tested, tasted and debated everything from the Best New Pet Product to the Best Apple Pie to the Best Hip New Music. The resulting list is organized into six categories – Legacies, Passions, Adventure, Innovation, Time Off and Connections. “Our aim with this issue is to spotlight hidden treasures, great products, cool trends and inspiring stories that show what’s extraordinary about this country,” said Reader’s Digest Editor-in-Chief Jackie Leo. “Last year was the first time we attempted such an ambitious undertaking and we clearly struck a chord with readers, making this one of our bestsellers.” Please see the Family-to-Family website for more information about this simple and unique hunger relief program where families with more help feed, on a monthly basis, families with profoundly less.
