For the first time since I assumed the role of Editor of the IH Section Newsletter in 1998, due to work commitments I could not meet the deadline for the Spring Issue. It was a very difficult decision to make. For this, to all of you who missed the regular newsletter, I wish to extend my apologies. I hope this was a single event that will not be repeated, and that with the help of all you, by submitting articles, we will continue to produce an interesting newsletter for the IH Section.

The IH Section Newsletter is a place for all section members to share our thoughts, creative ideas, and any other information that could be of interest and value to section members, including significant international work experiences. You are invited and encouraged to submit material for inclusion in the next issues.

I take this opportunity to thank all members who provided material for this issue of the newsletter. Special thanks to Ray Martin, for facilitating the submission of significant material contained in this newsletter.

The IH Section Newsletter is published twice a year. The deadline for the Spring Issue is March 1 and for the Fall Issue July 1. Submissions are to be about 400 words, Font Times Roman 12.
