FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK:
This newsletter is a transition letter. Our regular editor is retiring
and I am attempting to put a newsletter together for the members. It will
be a learning experience for both of us since I have never put a newsletter
together. I had hoped there would have been a newsletter before this one so
that two would have been put out this year but this was not to be. So please
bear with me as I learn.
