PRESIDENT'S
MESSAGE

Each year a President of the College writes a
farewell column. Pride is normal and regrets are
not unusual. Jane and I have thoroughly enjoyed
this year and are truly sorry to see it end. Our travels
for the College have carried us to San Diego, Mis-
soula, Hartford, Louisville, Houston, Philadelphia,
and many points in between. In a few instances,
such as the Phoenix meeting of the National College
of Probate Judges, we were present to represent
our College. More often, we were meeting with the

There was not a disappointing meeting during the
year.
Sometimes we tend to take the College for

EDITORIAL
mUat issue of Probate Notes marks the begin-
ning of a new volume and page numbering
method. Henceforth, each volume will coincide
with the calendar year and will contain a Winter,
Spring, Summer and Fall issue, numbered Vol-
umes 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. Pages will be
-numbered sequentially through all four volumes.
This should result in much easier citation than
was true under our old system. It will now be possi-
ble to cite a particular page of Probate Notes in the
following manner: 3 Probate Notes 234 (1982).
Credit for this excellent suggestion is due to
Fellow Mary Moers Wenig.
