A Note From the Editor

Even after 10 years, I am still often asked how I like being an editor. I addressed this question in an editorial several years ago after coming across an article in the January 1923 issue of The Modern Priscilla magazine, which says, in part: "A week or two ago I dropped in to get a key made at the locksmith shop. As I waited, my friend spoke of how interesting he found his work, meeting all kinds of people and having to use his head to solve new problems.

Would he change jobs with the mayor? I'll wager he wouldn't. He's happy right where he is because he loves his job."

One can find interest in a job if one looks for and appreciates the challenges. Fashioning new keys for old locks may not seem interesting to you, but my friend the locksmith loves it because it challenges him to use his head and solve problems."

I don't think I could have said it any better.
