Dear Air Power! Where in the hell have you been? What the hell is going on? I trusted you with my money! I believed all of your trumped up promises about never going under and leaving me in the lurch. Well I've had it with you now! I called the better business people and reported you ... they called back and said you didn't exist. I called GDW and complained, they said you no longer worked for them! I called Ralph Nader and he put me on hold! I can't take it anymore! You can't be dead! I loved your newsletter! I cannot live anymore without another fix of it .... Please Tony!, Please! Tell me what happened! The last issue I got was "OH Canada! #14". I've seen nothing from you for six months!!!! AAAAHG! If you don't respond soon I'm going to take my .44 Magnum and blow my puppy away! I'm not kidding! I'm that desperate!!! --Sincerely yours, A loyal subscriber Comrades! Fellow aviation gaming fanatics! I humbly beg for your forgiveness. The transfer of Air Power from Huntsville to Ann Arbor has not gone smoothly. The delays have been exasperating for me as well as for you, our loyal subscriber base. There can be no more excuses. It has taken us time to find a bank, a printer, and to apply for a new bulk mail permit. Obviously I'm going to try to make some changes in the way things have been run. First and foremost, this newsletter can no longer be a one man show. I simply cannot be a full time airline pilot, part time Guard pilot, part time game designer (four designs in the works), full time husband and dad, and editor-publisher-etc. of Air Power and hope to remain sane. The good news is that I can hopefully unload the newsletter part into the capable hands of my local "A"-Team. The team is a group of local Air Sup./Str. players and Air Power subscribers who have volunteered to help. John Caraher, Karl Mueller, and a couple of others will be handling the administrative part of tracking subscriptions, delivering print runs, compiling, labeling, and mailing issues. We have had several volunteers willing to help with editing and I thank you. But unless you live locally I cannot use you. In order to get things back on a roll, I plan to keep things pretty tight and nearby. Tony did the best job he could, but trying to work with someone several states away just did not allow for the close coordination necessary to keep a periodical going on time. Until such time as I can find a local editor, it will fall upon me to produce the actual issues. I have plenty of material, thankfully. Well, that's the situation to date. Below is abrief summary of what has been going on for the last six months. Stick with us gang. The best is yet to come! --J.D.
