I believe this year will be the first in quite a long time that there have actu­ ally been 4 issues of the Quarterly produced. I am very proud of the editors and the new officers for working so hard to get the Quarterly back out of limbo and the ICG back into a working organization. Our new CQ editor, Sally Norton, is taking over with the issue. Please contact me if you have any sugges­ tions, comments, criticisms or ideas for the CQ. We hope to hear from you concerning ways to make the CQ and the ICG more fun, educational and worthwhile. It has been brought to my attention that some people still have not received past issues of the CQ. If you are owed past issues, please contact the Treasurer of your chapter. The Treasurer will need to know which issues you believe are due. The Treasurers will check their records and then forward a list to the ICG officers. We will process the orders and hopefully, get e.;,eryone caught up. In keeping with our goal of opening the lines of commu­ nication among chapters and officers, I write a monthly President's Message.

There was a tearful farewell with the six remaining sisters bustling into the hall to watch as their sister waved from the chaise. It was their first major separation and as Elizabeth wistfully reminded herself, they were ‘sisters formed after my own heart’. In no time the excitement of travel took over and her spirits restored.

Elizabeth and her father and a companion were well wrapped up with a warm sheepskin rug over their feet which rested on tins of hot water. Elizabeth used a mitten occasionally to rub away the condensation on the inside of the window and looked out at the wintery scene. She saw bare trees with a bud here and there, flocks of birds grubbing for feed in the fields while hints of green appeared in the hedgerows promising the appearance soon of spring and a transformation of the landscape. 30 While It Is Yet Day Soon it was time to stop and rest.
