At the August membership meeting in Missoula, I will pass the gavel, and it will be with mixed emotions that I do so. My time as President has flown. It has been a year of stretching for me, as well as a huge learning curve, much bonding, and a lot of fun. I'm hoping that PNLA has benefited from my presidency. It is difficult to look back and say, if not for me, there would not be this, or that. Or say that I prevented some horrendous fate that threatened us, leaped tall buildings in a single bound, put out the fire…but my gaze at this point is a bit like looking in a mirror darkly.
