We'll Do

Anything To

Our new Senior How-To Editor Bill

LaHav (right) gets a few helpful hints

about the upcoming nesting-table pro-

Ject from

his predecessor,

Marlen

Kemmet.

Senior How-To Editor, decided to join

our marketing operation to focus his

efforts on WOOD ONLlNE(!l, our inter-

net site. Marlen had been with us

since issue 2 (November/December

1984). Fortunately for us, this tnle-to-

the-end trooper agreed to keep shep-

herding projects through the system

until we found his replacement.

Thanks for hanging in there, Marlen.

Finally, after what seemed like an

eternity, we hired Bill LaHay (that's

him on the riglJl with Marlen in the

photo above) to help continue our

long tradition of project-writing excel-

lence. This new hand brings lots of

experience in woodworking and pub-

lishing. He has been a team member

at both Workbench magazine and

Woodsbop News, a monthly trade

magazine.

In his new role, Bill will be collabo-

rating with Llrry Johnston, our senior

special-interest editor, and the rest of

the project-management team. And

even at this early date, my guess is

that we're going to be as strong or

stronger in this area than ever before.

Welcome to the Wide, wonderful

world of WOOD magazine, Bill. We're

glad to have you aboard.•
