One year ago Bill and I were excited to debut the online version of the New York-New Jersey Chapter Newsletter. At the same time, we were all grappling with the aftermath of possibly the most significant event of our lifetime. This issue, our final issue as newsletter editors, one year later, pays special tribute to those who remember 9/11. To those who lost friends and family, our thoughts will always remain with you.

As Bill and I welcome the new newsletter committee, we would like to thank all who took the time to offer feedback, comments and praise this past year. We would especially like to thank all of the columnists who responded so quickly to our call for contributors and whose contributions made this one of the most useful, engaging and innovative newsletters around.
