Celebrating the Life and Work of a Very Special Couple

Seldom do we have a themed issue, but this comes very close. Were it not for the things that absolutely must get out in December, we might have given all of it to Marc and Patricia Maurer. We sincerely hope that readers understand the profound impact they have had on our movement and that the Maurers understand how much we appreciate them.

We give thanks to all who contributed to this issue and are well aware that, had we cast our net even a bit wider, we would have gotten many more articles speaking to the way these fine people have affected the lives of tens of thousands of blind and sighted people. Knowing their love of Christmas and the Christmas season, we dedicate this issue to them in the hope that it will add to the joy of their holiday season.
