Note from your Gondola Gazette Editor Just a note to let you know that this is my last Gondola Gazette. Dale and I both have health conditions that are by far not life threatening but none the less bothersome. So today, December 28, 2011, I decided it was time to step down. Less than 5 minutes after I notified the office that I was going to advertise for a new editor, Don Maxwell called to let me know that our new President, Duane Legg, had appointed Joe Rosenthal as our new Gondola Gazette Editor. Thank you to Duane for accepting my resignation and to Joe for taking on this new role. Everyone please make Joe welcome in his new role. It has been a great 7 year experience for me. Don t worry, you will see me around! Alesea Smith Your New Gondola Gazette Editor! May I introduce your new Gondola Gazette Editor: Joe Rosenthal. He will do a wonderful job and I hope you continue to send him articles and pictures for the Gondola Gazette! JANUARY 2012 12 GONDOLA GAZETTE
