Five Long Years

Every time another year rolls around I can't help out be surprised that TVia, the Mirror and I are still at it. But here we are, beginning our 6th. year.

I went back and read over the article in TVia #25 entitled "FOUR YEARS". This was written for this same February issue a year ago. I find the words written then just as applicable today and in fact I am at a loss to add much to what was said then. I hope you will all go back and read them as they set forth the purposes and policies of TVia and Chevalier Publications very well.

The past year hasn't seen anything very colossal happening with Chevalier except for the arrival of Thea on the scene last May. She has proved an invaluable help to me in getting manuscripts typed and mail handled and generally as a "Girl Friday". My thanks to her for her past endeavors and anticipation of future contributions. Other than this things are much the same but it has taken all the running we could do to stay in one place.

The future and figure of TVia are pretty well stand- ardized now and we don't anticipate much alteration in that direction. But as always the content has to be supplied by you the readers, so please remember this in the form of "think pieces", fiction, poems, histories, cartoons and anything else likely to be of interest. I must keep a running back log of material to draw on. As you have enjoyed the material of others in the past make your contribution for the enjoyment of others in the future. With the support of it's readers in material and subscriptions I hope TVia can go on for six more years Congratulations to us all... VIRGINIA
