[MilCom] OFF TOPIC : Pop Comm Columnist Says Farewell

[Steve Douglass]

To my friends here on the milcom list.

Some will be surprised (and few will be happy) to know that  the 
Utility Communications Digest column in the May Popular 
Communications is my last.

So before the  rumor-mill cranks up and people begin speculating that 
I must have been fired, let me assure you I wasn't . I

  left Pop Comm for personal reasons that have nothing to do with the magazine. 

I enjoyed my time at Pop Comm despite coming under the fire of a few 
internet-egg-throwing know-it-alls.  In fact, I welcomed the 
criticism because it helped keep me on my toes, making me all that 
determined to write a column that was well researched, accurate and 
above all interesting.

I  hope who ever helms the Utility Digest  from here on has as much 
fun as I did.

I'd like to thank the many contributors who supported this column and 
took the time to  send  in their loggings,stories, ideas and photos.

All of you helped to make  the column what I hope it was:  a good 
read, filled with NEW information and utility news you could all use.

Special thanks to Harold Ort for giving me the opportunity to write 
about radio  again.  Harold assures me I can still write feature 
articles for the magazine from time to time, so although it is 
goodbye, its not really farewell.

Now its on to other things.  New challenges await me. I'm on the 
verge of starting a new career and a new chapter in my life. I hope 
the friends I made during my stint at Pop Comm will keep in touch. 

Again, thanks to everyone who contributed.

-Steve  Douglass
