Hi everyone and welcome to The Tarnished Truth.

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who participated in the election, both those who ran and those who voted. Congratulations to our new Officers and I hope that those of you who didn't win will run again in the future. I would also like to express my personal gratitude to all of you who supported me in the WINS election to act as our new editor. Although I have only been a member for a little over a year, I am very excited to be able to serve WINS in this capacity.

This is my first issue as your new Editor. I'd like to thank Doug Prather for the effort he has put into our past newsletters. Enjoy being a Reader now, Doug!

After discussion with the WINS Officers, it has been decided that future issues of our Newsletter will be available bi-monthly. We hope that this will generate more interest and contributions from our members. If any of you would like to contribute an article, essay, or anything, please send it to me. I'd like to have at least one member article and member biography in each issue. Please also let me know if there are other features you would like to see in our Newsletter. Our next issue will be available January 1, 2006.
