Editor's Letter, continued from page 3... I got to the first floor only to find myself making an unintentional grand entrance, dressed in denim, into one of Malcolm Forbes' very glamorous and luxe-80's black-tie parties. I quietly tip-toed – remembering that I'm not Elizabeth Taylor – up the stairs backwards and out the usual employee's exit. I then departed, with some trepidation, onto the streets of NYC, making my way back to Hoboken before the break of dawn. I'm telling you all this story because something magical happens here at the Newsletter when the printed piece is delivered to our mailboxes. Ruth and I find mistakes that we didn't previously see, despite scrutinizing each issue, ad nauseam. As you can imagine, this drives us pretty much crazy. I see it as karma for my long ago schadenfreude regarding those poor proofreaders and fact checkers. That, plus the fact that we're trying to get everything done quickly here so that we can enjoy our families and friends. Perhaps you're picking up on the same mistakes as we are? Or is it "...picking up on the same mistakes as we."? "Us"? Correct grammar usage can drive us crazy too. Life being what it is, I now have a much deeper understanding of the stress that those people were going through so long ago. We ask your forgiveness for our mistakes and misspellings and, as always, are so grateful for your readership! Enjoy the rest of your summer! – Julie Fl�nn
