Graybill helped ensure the survival of the journal as the university passed through a period of transition. ADVENTIST HERITAGE is being adopted by Lorna Linda University Riverside, but Jim Nix, director of Archives and Special Collections in the Del Webb Library on the health-science campus of Lorna Linda University, continues as managing editor. Producing ADVENTIST HERITAGE on a timely basis has been, unfortunately, an unrealized goal of the editor. Another goal we have is to increase the number of annual issues.
