At this printing time, IDRS President Lowry Riggins is still contacting several Society members asking if they can help by taking a specific responsibility to prepare columns in our newsletters and Journals. If anyone would like to volunteer for editorial service, Dan Stolper and I would be very pleased to hear from you immediately. In addition, may we ask all members to write us often with ideas, articles, poems, performances, reed lore, tour reports, etc., etc. This can heighten everyone's enjoyment and appreciation of our Society and the inter-communication motivation of its inception. Thank you sincerely, as always!
