All copies have been mailed. I believe that people will be pleased with this issue, which highlights MAA's fiftieth anniversary! All our contributors did a wonderful job. If you'll forgive my immodesty, I'll say that I'm very pleased with my own history of MAA. There's also an enjoyable interview with MAA's next President, Brecque Keith. Jennifer Thomas provides a look at our next meeting (Mackinac City, June 11-13 - I'll see you there!), and Sue Panak talks about the recent MAC symposium at Cranbrook. There are also some great events occurring at Michigan's archival institutions, but I don't want to unfairly spotlight anyone here, so...you'll all just have to read the issue and see! Thanks to all contributors. Thanks also to Production Editor Cynthia R. Miller, who offered some valuable feedback and did a great job on the layout. I hope you all enjoy the issue.
