Wasted Trails 4x4 magazine January 2014 Vol 8 | Page 5

As many of you are aware, my Eldest Son, Douglas, passed away in November. I had my heart ripped from chest, as he has been my rock while I have been dealing with my health issues. At 25, it was just too soon. I came close to not moving forward with the magazine. We have assembled an awesome writing staff, covering all types of 4x4 Action. That will continue with Misty Crice at the Helm, becoming the Chief Editor of the magazine. I will be taking a back seat role overseeing each Issue and working to expand the magazine. I would like to Thank Everyone for their Support during this very trying time and hope you all continue to enjoy and support the magazine.
