Hello all members (and special guests) – watch your mail boxes for your copy. You should be receiving your copy next week.
We had several guest contributors. Many thanks to the all!
Also, thanks to Rebecca Bollwitt ( @miss604 ) for all her help in formatting, and to Brian Collins for proofreading.
The printer, Minuteman Press, in New Westminster, did a terrific job in producing this issue. I recommend we use them again for any future printing needs.
This was the last Petrel Flyer produced by Fran Martin. Brian Collins has volunteered to take over. Many thanks, Brian. I am sure he would appreciate your contributions. Reviews, recipes, essays, etc…
Thanks to everyone who contributed over the past 5 year! I really appreciated it!
