Thanksgiving

I owe special gratitude this year to fellow editors Ben Brown and Michael Houser, who have been exceptionally generous and helpful in their work for the Concourse. Ben is heading for graduate school in the Fall; Michael for Austria. Both will continue as editors, thank goodness. Pre-theologate student Scott Johnston has graciously agreed to take up the practical slack left in Ben's wake. He has joined the editorial board and will handle FUS on-campus distribution next year.

For tireless dedication and perpetual good cheer, Justine Schmiesing stands alone. To paraphrase P.G. Wodehouse: "Among all possible design-editors, she's the only possible one." She volunteers all the layout work for the Concourse. And the light-hearted, tension-diffusing and humorous illustrations you find in our pages are chosen by her.

The other editors: Mark Fischer, Susan C. Fischer (sister-in-law, not wife of Mark), David Schmiesing and Jules van Schaijik have been extra involved and

supportive this year. The editorial work has been more of a team-effort than ever before. I am so grateful to all of them.

Thanks also are due to Jody Trupiano, who has been our faithful subscriptions manager since September. (Now that Jules and I are finally settled stateside again, we will begin sending subscriptions out from Ypsilanti rather than Steubenville, which should cut down significantly on the time between publication and mailing.)

Finally, thanks be to our advisers, and even more to those who have contributed to the Concourse by sending in articles. I have been especially pleased that so many faculty took time out of their busy schedules to send us something this year. I hope many more will next year. It makes our discussion that much more interesting and fruitful.

May your jubilee summer be full of rest and joy!
