This is Greg’s last issue. He is retiring and we are focusing a good portion on this month’s journal on what he created. I’ll miss working with him, but I completely understand and appreciate why he decided to retire earlier than we planned. It’s just time. He wants to travel and the pressure of a monthly publication deadline is very stressful. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trust me, there are many days during the pandemic stress that I thought about retiring myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m committed to continuing the work he started and I hope I don’t let him down as he keeps an eye on the journal while traveling with his wife Dede.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This might also be the last print edition. At least for a while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I haven\u2019t decided yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Greg and I upgraded the website and we keep it up to date with relevant news and info daily, our readership has skyrocketed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have about 1,000 x 1 readers on the website versus in print. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It makes sense to focus on digital and not print, but I don’t agree with Dr. Peter Venkmans proclamation that “Print is Dead”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think there is a place for print and I need to find it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is something special about holding the physical copy of the journal in your hands and flipping through the pages, at least for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let me know your thoughts.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n
