| FROM THE EDITOR ~ |

Dear Readers:
Last week we asked if you all would participate in a Smallwood-News survey. Not only did quite a few respond, but we received some excellent insight that should help us considerably as we move forward into the future. We unfortunately can't fulfill all requests, but we'll implement those that we can. Thank you again for your readership and your support.
Best wishes,
Craig Rawlings
