Hey Rick
Bev is pretty good at the editing thing and has done a good job on the
MOWOG. I would say this though, if there is something you really want left
in I would tell her. Since she wasn't there and does not know about us on
this list she may cut something you think should be left in. She has also
has told me in the past that she can spread things out over more than one
issue if needed.

Rick,
Let the editor have at it. Anyone who has written articles can share lots
of stories with you on having their best stuff end up on the editorial
floor. It's just the way it goes. It is a true art to be able to sum up a
3 day event in one page of print and do so accurately. That's why good
journalists are so hard to find... ;-)
Cheers!!
Jim
