IMHO I appreciate the contents, those who contribute and it gets here when it
gets here. This issue is once again very excellent. I saw the old photo of the
Healey Pac coast region in the 80's which included my old boss and my son's
godfather, Ed Bussey of Ship and Shore Motors in West Palm Beach Fl. Ed's
company key chain holds my BN7 keys.

Subject: Re: [Healeys] Austin-Healey Magazine
Everyone's right: The issue you've just received of the Austin-Healey
Magazine has the cover date of August-September, for the simple reason that it
was the issue we published after the May-July issue. As noted, I've been
running late this year due to conflicts with other responsibilities. However,
I'm
not sure I'll buy the entire blame this time. That issue went to the
printer in mid-september. They claim that they took it to the post office on
Sept.
30, which by itself would be unacceptable -- we should be getting a one
week turn-around. However, if that date is accurate, it's taken the post office
four weeks to deliver them, which would be a new record.
So, to fix these problems, we're getting a new editor who doesn't have as
many conflicts, but is experienced -- as noted in the issue -- and the new
editor is getting a new printer in the Denver area, which we hope should be
better able to get better post office service and shorter shipping times.
I'll still be working on the magazine, as will Roger Moment, but Jeff will
be the taskmaster re deadlines.
Current status: I'm now putting together the Oct-Nov issue, which I hope to
have done next week, but if that follows the pattern of the prevoius issue,
you may not see it until next year. We'll also be doing a year-end calendar
issue as we've done in the past several years, but I think we'll have that
one printed at the new printer. Who knows, it might beat the other issue.
That's the best I can promise.
Sorry.
Gary
