Analog Science Fiction And Fact - May 2014
Page 22
Trevor Quachri,
My hope for you is that you do as well as your predecessors. You will receive a certain amount of nay saying and hand wringing since you are taking over from Stanley Schmidt. It will not be worth any of your time to engage these folks. I have been reading this magazine in both forms since 1954. I have seen all the crap folks have to say to the new editor every time. Ignore it. From John W. Campbell, to Ben Bova, to Stanley Schmidt, and now to you. Every one of these editors make their mark on the magazine. Here's hoping you do as well. So, finally, my congratulations on your promotion.
John Whittington West Fork, AR
