Summer is upon us! A time for family, relaxation, and maybe finishing up articles or research that has lingered un-attended over the past several months. The current issue of E-Cass is surprisingly full - the Summer Solstice issue is usually the lightest of the four. Of particular note in this issue: Gretchen Harris provides an illuminating look at CASCA over the past 30 years. Also, this marks Gretchen's last entry as president. Thanks for your service to us all! Jacques Vallée provides useful tips on collaborative proposal writing Randall Brooks has prepared a short piece highlighted the latest honour bestowed on Helen Hogg Heather Scott offers us several thought provoking articles on CASCA education As well, there are the usual informative reports. Have a great summer! Brian Martin (brian.martin@kingsu.ca)
