Motion by Phil Porter to accept Treasurer's Report as given, seconded by Frank Meyer, passed unanimously.

Editor’s Report

Costs to publish have increased although our costs have decreased due to reduced number of issues and mailings, total slightly under $400. Other editorial expenses have added another $200; exact amounts in Treasurer's written report. Associate Editor Daeron Meyer has submitted his resignation effective immediately. It is requested that Bruce Peret be appointed to that position. The present editor submits his resignation to be effective June 1997. Reasons for taking this action are personal. After discussion the editor agreed to extend his service in that capacity until appropriate staff is available to carry on that function without his input. Reciprocity is the life blood of this organization and without it we would not have survived this long. Motion by Phil Porter to accept the Editor's Report with strong thanks from the Society for the many years of excellent service in that capacity, second by Rainer Huck, passed unanimously.
