Editors Note
After a year of anonymity
we’ve finaiiy decided to raise our
heads and admit responsibiiity
for CROSSROADS. We’ve found
it serves many purposes besides
reading, and hope you too can
find a piace for it in your home.
The staff consists of me, Jim
Giermanski, editor; Dr. George
Herndi, assistant editor; Aiien
Morris, iayout editor; and
Father James Soiari, O.S.B.,
coiumn editor. A motiey crew
with which to work, they
nonetheiess have in their own
way contributed, however
slightiy, to its production. It is a
truism that a publication is only
as good as its staff ~ so if it isn’t
any good ~ tell them.
Oh yes, thanks also to Barbara
Zinke, my secretary who types
and takes Pittman shorthand.
