Notes from the EditorTh anks to those who have supported me this past year as the editor of the PNC Newsletter with your ‘kudos’ and words of encouragement. I really ap-preciate your thoughtfullness! Although there have been some mishaps along the way...I’ve forgotten an email, missed a new phone number, inserted a wrong date, and other goofs, I continue to strive to improve. However, the biggest issue (for me) that occurred this past year is that in June the PNC Newsletter on Yahoo was HACKED! which means I lost all PNC contacts....including all my contacts for addressess, email, regular mail and any emails that were sent to me for the fall issue.
Everything PNC related was deleted from my com-puter. Th erefore, if I sent you emails requesting info for the newsletter (and it had already been sent) it was due to the hacking. For those who did not re-ceive a newsletter either by email or regular mail for September, please either email me (for those with emails) or phone me for regular mail and I will get you the September issue. Th ank you for your patience and understanding. I do appreciate that! And, steps have been taken to avoid this mishap again!
