Salvete omnes!

There's nothing quite like seeing a Torch come together. From the earliest moments — opening a new, blank publication, white pages heavy with the weight of possibility — to the final ones — writing this officer voice now — it's a journey of myriad trial paired with its fair share of error.

But, as I look upon these pages now, I can see the results of my work over the past months both directly and indirectly. With my fellow officers, I've met, collaborated, and coordinated (& I can't wait for upcoming events, like Classicalia or National Classics Week!). With my own chapter, I've attended regional events and local meetings.

From these has come the spring Torch: U.S. And, if you're here, you're probably already reading it — so why let me hold you back? Enjoy it, and let me know what you think at [email protected]!

Best wishes,

Felix Chen
