And while tributes are appropriately being made to Brenda Berck, I would like to recognize the editor of this magazine's precursor, Arts Access, Ann Macklem. She did a superb job on the magazine and left me the most organized set of file folders I have ever seen -- very intimidating. Ann also did a great job of working with people in the community and getting them to tell their stories in their own voice. I will keep her open door policy in action and look forward Loree to hearing from you. --Gloria Five Things You've Already Missed The Chance to Do: 1.
