2. Editor for the Michigan Libertarian by Bill Gelineau

   A fine Christmas present was given to the LPM this year as we have been able to find a top-notch candidate for one of our key positions. ---- Jamie Lewis agreed to accept the position of Newsletter Editor of the Michigan Libertarian, our regular printed newsletter. Jamie has wide experience in the printing field and has a strong reputation for completing tasks in a timely manner. He has been a Libertarian Party member for many years - serving in a number of capacities - currently the Vice-Chair of the Libertarian Party of West Michigan. We will have twice the benefit when Jamie takes over as Editor. ---- Tom Quinn, the former Chair of the LPWM and U.S. Congressional Candidate has accepted the position of Assistant Editor. Tom's background as the founder of a for-profit school and teacher make him keenly qualified to assist in the development, proofing, and editing of information. ---- Most exciting will be the addition of John Di Giacomo as Affiliate Pages Editor. John is a relatively new member who is also a student at Central Michigan University. He will be responsible for developing information from our affiliates. ---- Working together, this team will continue the ongoing improvement of the Newsletter. Please forward any suggestions or articles to newsletter@michiganlp.org. Also, I like to take this opportunity to thank Greg Stempfle for his service to the LPM as Editor this past year. Greg has returned to school to complete his Master's Program....and reluctantly asked for a replacement as Editor for some time. He continued to produce several issues of the newsletter while a successor was found. Greg's personal effort to produce a quality newsletter with fair-minded editorial judgment set a standard for others to follow. ---- Thanks, Greg, for all you've done for the LPM!
