Teen idols may fade away, but obviously the memories never do (PEOPLE, July 27). Correspondent were thrilled to see once more the icons of their youth, and the "Where Are They Now?" feature was the most mentioned part of the issue. There were, however, a handful of grumblers who were disappointed that their idols didn't make the cut.
TEEN IDOLSYour Teen Idols issue was so good, Valentino Shoes so splendiferous, so terrific, I'm even going to forgive you for the Alimony Blues issue. My subscription runs to August '95. Let it ride...BILL LINDEN, Chicago
Perusing the article "Where Are They Now?" was exactly like perusing the updated version of my Valentino Sale 20th high school reunion yearbook. Well done!VICKI ALPAUGH, El Cajon, Calif.
I thoroughly enjoyed your Teen Idol issue. The Bobby Sherman poster pictured once lovingly adorned my bedroom wall. I attended a Monkees concert. My 12-year-old daughter knows the song "It's My Party" by heart. Today, Luke Perry and Jason Priestley grace her bedroom walls. My son owns a closetful of Michael Jordan shoes and T-shirts. The teen idol days will always be a part of our youthful innocence. For the idols, it brought fame, fortune and some heartache. I appreciated reading about the ones who appreciated their fanshen and now.MARTHA BARNES, Blythe, Ga.
A pullout poster of Marky Mark? Puh-leeze! I had to check the cover twice to make sure I wasn't reading Tiger Beat. I always thought that you catered to an older, more mature group of readers. If you're going to lower your magazine level, I recommend a pullout of Kevin Costner for my generation and maybe "Kookie" Byrnes for the older generation.MALORA L. PAOLUCCI, Roseville, Mich.
