I. THANKS: I must start off by expressing my real appreciation to those of you who remembered me with cards, and some gifts, at Xmas time. I couldn't possibly send them out myself so I gave up trying several years ago, so don't feel slighted but if you sent me a card please accept my, Mary's and Jeanne's thanks.

II. LEADING LADY: We are fortunate to have an interesting lead story by Maureen in Denver in this issue. It has been a long time since one was submitted. Lead stories have to be a little different than other histories. They need to be really interesting and reveal the per- son in some depth. Those selected must also have presentable pic- tures. When a wife or a non-FP picks up the mag and sees the fron- tispiece portrait the individual shown speaks for all of us and must therefore speak well. If you can provide a good story interestingly written and look well enough for a portrait shot send the story and pics in. I don't look for Miss America, so don't be bashful. I just want pics that are sincere, realistic if not idealistic and an interesting true story. Try it, you might make it.

III. CHANGES: PLEASE Please, please! Don't expect Jeanne and me to be Sherlock Holmes and then bitch if we can't solve the problem. I'm referring to those of you who originally order under one name and later decide to be someone else and don't tell us. Or those of you who move and don't specifically point out that fact just assuming that we will mail to whatever address is given. We will, but we also keep record cards and we sometimes don't know whether we have a new customer with the same name as a former customer but at a different address or not. If it is a new address please say that it is so we can change the old address card.
