From the Editor
I want to offer personal thanks for the unique networking with Mary Ann Bash, Ginger Wilkins, Karen Erb, and Tom Bloch, which inspired me in composing my last "The Editor Reflects." Next September, please welcome the fresh ideas and talents of David Virtue as your new editor. To Tom Gatewood, Ron Maertens, John Lounsbury, and Tom Dickinson, the editors who preceded me, I hope I have kept alive this flame, Middle School Journal, that you birthed and nurtured so well.
