GUEST PRESIDENT’S LETTER By Martha Womack Haun, Ph.D., PRP
Our publications have had a bit of a shuffle the last few months due to personal crises. Health issues of the editor caused publication of the Parliamentary Journal to get a year behind. We’ve corrected that problem.

Betsy Hilt at headquarters and I (as a former PJ editor from years ago) put three of the 2018 issues together. President Crews approved the content since some of the material was authored by me earlier in the summer. The Winter 2019 issue should be in your hands by now and Paul Lamb (a long-tenured former editor) put together a missing issue from 2018 (winter, I think as he explains in an editorial). President Crews should be authoring this letter but has had her life more than filled with family crises that include the unexpected loss of her mother in Huntsville and responsibilities involving her sister who was in a serious auto accident. We all extend our condolences to her and look forward to the time when she can fully resume duties. Look elsewhere in this newsletter for a contribution from Ted Weisgal’s which provides an apt analogy of RONR as a Swiss Army knife! Thanks, Ted!! Plan now for your attendance at the East Coast Practicum and our next annual meeting will be here before we know it! [see information elsewhere in this newsletter]. Hope everyone had a chance to celebrate the April 13, 1743, birthday of Thomas Jefferson! Find out how much your friends actually know about what his writings contributed to democracy!
