This Issue

For technical reasons the publication of Issue 39 in 1984 was a bit delayed. Issue 39 also marked one of the few times when page count was reduced from 24 to 20.

Founding Editor George Towner joins Gareth Penn, Paul Healy, and John Cumming this month as all four bring us great non-fiction reading. Philip Kienholz, Terry Tilford, and Wes Hight provide verse for thought, and Susan Packie and Lottie Fish-Bate check in with this month's humor.

Note: The Editor at the time, against the advice of the staff at the time, decided to add an Editorial in the space where short contributors' biographies were printed. It is for this reason that the little "About" sidebars in this online version are empty. We hope that these bios will return in the near future.

This Issue's Staff:

Editor:	Richard Amyx
Asst Editor/ Proofreader:	Meredy Amyx
Assistants:	John Cumming, John David Galt, Myra Johnson, Sue O'Brien, George Towner, Laurie Yadon
Business:	Tod Wicks

This month sees the departure of Assistant Burt Schmitz, who provided many interior illustrations and who pasted up the pages into camera-ready copy. Good luck, Burt! Also this month Editor Richard Amyx has appointed Meredy Amyx as Assistant Editor and Proofreader to the staff of The Ecphorizer.
