EDITOR’S COLUMN

Special thanks to Allen LeBaron for suggesting, then researching and writing the lead article. It does illuminate Jeremiah Sanborn’s contribution to Utah post-secondary education. I repeat my request: Sanborn Signatures needs articles. Send me suggestions, send me articles, send me clippings. Please note the cookbook item below. Send Marion your favorite recipes. Publication of the cookbook will help the SFA Scholarship fund. Also, those readers who have email addresses, why don’t you send them to me; we’d like to keep a list of them.

Save the weekend of Aug 5 & 6, 2000, the tentative dates of the SFA Annual Meeting.

Once again, thanks from the SFA to member Glen Hawkins for producing this newsletter. His professional graphic design business in Boston MA is Hawkins Design (617-524-4032).

Hope to hear from you. Marion R Sanborn, 143 Currier Rd, Andover NH 03216.
