Letter from the Editor

This letter is always the last thing I write before we publish the ezine. I think it must be superstition but it's always nice to write about the ezine after all the work has been done. Our issue this month is packed full of fabulous contributions and a wonderful new section.

I want to send many good thoughts to JoAnn and her family. JoAnn is our regular tutorial contributing goddess. JoAnn's family was affected by hurricane Katrina, I understand they are all safe now but we wanted you to know we've been thinking about you JoAnn.

As with many others, the news of Katrina hit me hard. I am struck by the loss that can happen in one day. I'm also happy to see so much support given to the victims from people in our BJD community. There have been many auctions and donations being made to support the victims. I also just found out one of our contributors this month took the money she was savings for a MSD and donated it to various charities to help out. I'm astounded by her kindness. You are a wonderful person and a great example to us all.

   Sincerely
