New CGS News editor in 2013
This column marks my comple-
tion of 6 years as the editor of CGS
News. This has been a very enjoyable
experience, and I would like to thank
all of the contributors to this column
over the years. I would also like to
acknowledge the excellent support
that I have received from the various
members of the CGS Board of Direc-
tors over the years.
Starting in 2013, Don Lewycky will
be taking over for me as editor. I wish
Don the best of luck in this position,
and I hope that you will give him
the same level of support that I have
received over the years.
