Greetings

from your guest editor

As our regular Highlands Voice editor, Bill Reed, is basking in the Florida sunshine, we are here in the Mountain State coping with the cold weather (I say bring it on!). I have volunteered to put this issue of the Voice together, and hope you will indulge me for my lack of experience in such an endeavor. It may look a little different, but I hope it will provide readers with the same excellent commentary and coverage of West Virginia Environmental issues as they have become accustomed. It's been an eye-opening experience. I liken it to a puzzle. First you have to identify, locate, and create all the pieces, then you have to find a way to make them all fit together. Thanks to everyone who helped make it possible. My apologies to those whose material I had not space. Bill will be back for next month's issue. enjoy!
