All: My words don't describe how pleasant it is to read all of your best wishes. I have stressed to my staff and my contributors, again and again, "Readers Come First!" and it's deeply gratifying to see that policy pay off. You are the people that pay my salary, and I sought to reward your faith. Many times, that meant I had to work evenings until 11 p.m., and sometimes until 3 a.m. in the morning, not to get the issue done, but to get the issue done right. You deserved nothing less than the very best I could do, and as I came to know all of you, whether in this forum or through correspondence or meeting you in person, I wanted to do my best all the more. I'm not exactly leaving, however. If I can, I'll remain at Trains long enough to do a full turnover to the new editor. He or she would be very depressed to have to untangle the mess that is my affairs. I'll continue to be involved in the magazine to a fairly significant degree if that works for the new editor. And I'll still be on this forum, where nice people can be found. Mark W. Hemphill
