December 2025 Editor's Note

Surprise!  You get to hear from me this issue.  It’s hard to believe we are entering the holiday season, which happens to be my personal favorite time of the year.  It’s a time when togetherness and community really get celebrated.  A little bit of eggnog or hot chocolate doesn’t hurt either. 

It’s also a time to reflect upon the year that has passed and to look forward to new beginnings. Every time I put together one of these newsletters, I look back at the previous ones and marvel at how much we’ve accomplished.  So much knowledge has been shared by this community.  The work that each of you contribute is what keeps this thing alive.  Going through pictures and selecting the best ones is always a daunting task because I want to include all of them. We all deserve to be visible to the rest of our group.

I’m grateful that you’ve entrusted me to create the record of our best times together. Let’s keep making memories and have a wonderful winter!
