Well, the word is official. This fall I will setting up the eastern outpost of Archipelago, protecting you from the tribes of savage New Yorkers and Pennsylvanians who threaten to cross the mountains and attack our fair settlements. In other words, I will be moving to Ohio. My wife Kathy has accepted a rather tempting offer from Ohio State University in Columbus.

So it will be "Eastward Ho!" we go, to the banks of the ole Olentangy River. I'll keep you all posted. We'll be moving in the late summer, so there'll be no need to change the address cards just yet. Wish us luck.

P.S. This issue looks terrific.
