Editor's Letter
by Jim Caldwell

Finally, here we are with our second issue of the WebLetter. I realize we were beginning to stretch even the bounds of "Better late than never", for which I apologize to all our members. One of my 2001 resolutions is to get this out quarterly, and I really mean it this time, dammit!

We've expanded the Letter with more verbal and pictorial content. You may have already seen some of these e-mails from Nash, our hard-working Prez, but I felt that the WebLetter would be a more permanent and public venue for these important ideas. Our plan is to archive issues on the ASMP Houston web site as we publish their replacement.

Our most important innovation with this issue is the General Member Profile, an opportunity to see some work and words by more established members. Our first Profilee is Bob Gomel, a most appropriate choice considering he organized this chapter way back in 1979 when many of us joined. He was the Chapter's first President and has stepped in to help whenever needed over the years. Most recently he helped organize our meeting programs.

Since most of us are familiar with Bob's more famous images, I asked him to show us a side we might not know and give us a few surprises. I think we've got a fascinating look at a long and distinguished career. Thanks Bob!
