The CSM executive had a meeting Friday and we have approved the idea that we might combine our newsletters (MAC and CSM) and come up with a special issue dedicated to Lee and to the issues he and we care about. The CSM newsletter editors (George Daniels and John Arnold) are going to get in touch with the MAC newsletter editor to begin planning.
For this to be successful, and worthy of its purpose, we all need to help out with articles and materials and ideas.
