Pauza Magazine Spring 2007 | Page 2

FROM THE EDITOR: Dear Readers, It has been very interesting overseeing the production of this issue of Pauza. The transition from the previous group of editors to the new group has gone very smoothly. I would like to thank David Fox for all his help, and I would also like to thank Dao Tran, Aryn Bloodworth, Sofia Harwell, Lotus Yu and Anne Schillig for being such a great group to work with. If Pauza does continue, I know they will manage it beautifully. I say if, because it seems likely this will be the last issue, at least for a while. I find that unfortunate, because I have enjoyed reading, contributing to and editing Pauza for almost two years now, and it was around long before I was here, but, for a variety of reasons, that seems to be the case. Whether or not Pauza continues, this will be my last issue. It’s been on my list of projects long enough, so this is goodbye from me. It is also time to say goodbye to Jim Carl. We have all benefited greatly from his intelligence and efficiency and helpfulness, and we have all enjoyed his humor. We will miss you, Jim, and we have included some farewell wishes for you here. We also have some travel tips, some pure entertainment, some glimpses of our lives as PCVs in Macedonia, and some great photographs. I hope you enjoy them all. Best wishes, Erika M.
