An Appreciation of Newsletter Editor Jerry Norris
Dear Jerry,
I understand that you intend to resign from your current post as Editor of the Friends of Colombia newsletter. The Board of Directors deliberated for many hours to determine whether or not we should accept your resignation. We reviewed your conflicting offers of more leisure time, travel to dream destinations, substituting the finest cuisine and superb wine for Papa Johns pizza, writing the great American novel, hiking in remote locations, power lunches to influence the course of our world, and realized that we could not refuse.
Not only are our members appreciative of your many years of involvement in FOC, accepting the position of Vice President, your opinions, ideas, suggestions and your many hours of putting together the newsletter for the past five years, but we have also enjoyed your sense of humor and personal touch. We will miss that.
So, Jerry, on to other rewarding endeavors. We are consoled that you will remain working with the Board and that we can count on your guidance.
With gratitude and affection,
Arleen Stewart Cheston President, Friends of Colombia
