From the Editor
A special greeting from the MCATA executive to all our colleagues. We wish you a successful, enjoyable year with all of the challenges ahead. I thought that my editorial should focus on success. So here is the recipe. Good luck!
— Art Jorgensen
Success
To laugh often and much, to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children, to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends, to appreciate Beauty, to find the dent in others, to leave the world a Bit defter, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has Breathed easier Because you have lived This is to have succeeded~ •
