Dear Laurie,
You have been a great editor of Vision. So it is with some sadness that we offer our congratulations to you on your new path as an ESL teacher. We know that this has been a long-term goal for you, and that it is a positive move for you and your family. We wish you the very best in the years ahead.
We have greatly benefited from your leadership over the last six years. You guided us with choices of themes and (gently) prodded us to submit our work by the deadline. Your editorial skills improved and focused our submissions. You have written many articles on a wide range of topics. The challenging transition from hard copy to an electronic publication was made under your guidance. With your vision, skills, and commitment you have shaped Vision into a valued journal and resource for chaplains.
We will miss your leadership. Most of all we will miss your gentle presence, which we felt in spite of the distance through emails and phone calls.
Thank you so much.
Blessings and best wishes,
Isabelita Boquiren, James J. Castello, Elaine Chan, Austine Duru, Marika Hanushevsky Hull, David Lichter, Sandra Lucas, Michele Sakurai
