It is truly amazing how fast time has gone by. Most of us are just about to recover from all the fun and frolicking at the 2009 Chicago AKMG Convention, yet here we are getting ready for the 2010 Vancouver AKMG Convention. It almost looks like the AKMG Annual Conventions are indeed the bright punctuation marks in our life and career.

Fall is here, the leaves on the trees here in Wisconsin have put up their annual brilliantly colorful extravaganza. Kids are back in school and summer is a pleasant memory now. Now is the time to work hard and get ready to enjoy our next nice break during the wonderful Vancouver AKMG 2010 Convention.

It is my pleasure to thank all of my AKMG colleagues who have contributed articles to the Fall edition of AKMG Reporter. I would also express gratitude to the AKMG readership and implore each one of you to suggest improvements that could be made inexpensively to the AKMG Reporter and our website , www.akmg.org.

Now, let us all get ready for the 2010 AKMG Convention in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, July 29-30-31, 2010.
