EDITOR'S notebook

Having been associated with the publication for that long of time, which is rare in trade publishing circles and in American business in general, my job has become more to me than just a paycheck. In fact, sometimes people will ask how I avoid suffering from burnout covering the same industry for 21 years. My response: It's always changing, plus every issue that our editorial staff prepares is different from the previous, allowing for creativity. Anyone with a passion for what they do for a career can relate.
