An Old Printer Looks Back--Waldman

I have to also make a special mention of my good friend for 25 years, Mark Michelson, editor-in-chief of this magazine. I, and most of the industry, have always known about Mark's exemplary qualities as both a journalist and as a gentleman.

Last fall, Mark was recognized by his peers when he received the Tom McMillan award for Editorial Excellence. This award is presented to an editor or writer who exhibits the highest standards of journalistic integrity, professionalism and understanding of the industry, and who serves as a role model for other journalists. I concur. But most of all I am proud to count Mark as a longtime friend.
