This month you are going to notice many changes in the magazine. I have added buttons for all movement within the magazine. You will see that you can now click on "Enter" or "Link" buttons to download or go to a new page. Returns to the home page are now done by clicking on the "Back" button at the bottom of the page you have entered. All Email is now indicated by a button that says "Email" on it. Clicking on this button should take you to your Email client and allow you to send a message to the person indicated. It is hoped that this will simplify moving around the magazine and improve the looks of the magazine.

We now have two new columnists doing three new columns starting in this issue. David Sakrison will be doing the "Letters to the Editor" column and the "Hints and Tips" column. Michael Cittadino will be doing the "Readers" column, this column will have pictures of completed models sent in to Michael. Martyn Griffiths has agreed to pick up the "Like to See" column founded by the recently deceased Rich Borg. All of these are in response to requests by readers. We are listening to you so use the above columns to keep us informed of what you want to see in this magazine. It was designed to serve the card modeling family and we want to be responsive to you the reader. Use the "Letters to the Editor" column to let us know what you think of these changes and what others you would like to see.

Even though I can not make the convention this year, the magazine will be represented by a table. Two of the editors of the magazine, Bill Geoghegan and Ralf Schnurbusch will be there and at least one will be at the table for you talk to. Thanks to your help by purchasing the models we are offering on the sell page, the magazine can afford to pay for the table. I am very sorry that I can not attend but the two editors that will be there would appreciate if you stop by, say hello and let us what you think of our magazine.
