| New Years Message from the Editor(s) |
| by Linda Gorski |
Your newsletter team, John Rich, Louis Aulbach and I, have a year of
newsletters under our belts. After some initial heebie jeebies with the
format and a LOT of help from our webmasters Fraser Baker and Harmon
Everett, we think we've got the kinks worked out and we are ready to
expand and improve the newsletter for 2010. You'll note that we've
already added a couple of new columns to start off the New Year.
First, we'll do a monthly "Book Review" column -- with your help. If
you've read a good book, send us a review. I started off this month
with a review of Keith Bowden's "The Tecate Journals - 70 Days on the
Rio Grande". I know many of you will be heading out to the Big Bend
this spring to run the river and this is a must-read before you go.
We've also started a column called "River Recipes". Check out this
month's menu - Trans Pecos Chicken by Louis Aulbach - and you'll be
drooling. This is another column that YOU will write. Please share some
of your river recipes and photos if you have them. I know this will
become one of our most popular columns yet.
Then there's the "Did you Know"... column which I hope will include
bits of information you want to pass along to other HCC members. For
instance, we have so many new members who know nothing about the
history of the club. This month Bob Arthur is responsible for compiling
a list of places the HCC has met over the years. Evidently inquiring
minds were discussing this at the Christmas party and Bob took a trip
down memory lane. You might even remember a place or two that Bob has
forgotten. So send us your fond memories of the Houston Canoe Club,
Rendezvous, trips, etc. We want to hear from you.
We appreciate the positive feedback we've received about the newsletter
and with your help hope to make it even better. Send those reviews,
recipes and recollections... and don't forget the trip reports!
