We begin with this issue the eleventh year of publication of this Newsletter. This issue, as you can see from the masthead, is number 22. In case you wonder why this first issue of our eleventh year is not No, 21, the reason dates back to 1971 when we went from No. 7 in March to No. 9 in August. I know not why. We also begin with this issue with a new editor, if that be the appropriate word. Let me introduce myself. My name is Earl Peters and I am the new Executive Director of the Department. Twice a year I have the pleasant task of coordinating the preparation of this, your Newsletter.
