Pacific Call Needs New Editor

by Larry Kerschner, Editor

In 1955 the FOR area newsletter was re-named “Northwest Area FOR Newsletter” but continued to be produced at the FOR Far West office in Berkeley, CA.  It was intended to cover news of the area comprising the Puget Sound area, lower British Columbia, and the Inland Empire.  In 1981 the newsletter of the Washington-British Columbia FOR was re-named again to the “Pacific Call.” Pacific as in “pacifism” and call as in “spread the word and get involved.”  The newsletter at that time was edited by Bruce Kokopeli (Bruce Pruitt-Hamm).  In September 1984 Lisa Hicks and Bill Anthis became co-editors of the Pacific Call. In September 1985 Brenda Burton became Editor of the Pacific Call. In January 1995 Thaddeus Spratlen was Editor of the Pacific Call. In September 1997 Tom Savage took over as Editor, and in January 2009 I became Editor of Pacific Call.

I have enjoyed the past five years taking advantage of the position of Editor to pick and choose articles I found interesting.  It is now time for a new Editor to come forward. I will edit the final edition in 2014 so we need another volunteer to pick up the reins before the end of the year. Anyone who would like to talk about taking over this position can contact me at larry@peacepoet.me.
