As

settle into my first month as theMUFON International Director.

MUFON mem-bers today owe a great debt of grati-tude to Walt Andrus and JohnSchuessler and so many others for hav-ing the vision and fortitude to not allowthe study of UFOs to pass into oblivion.
It
is an honor for me to continue theMUFON legacy.What makes MUFON such a greatorganization are you the members whogive selflessly of your time to attend orrun state and local meetings. investi-gate UFO sighting. research UFO ac-tivity and educate the public on the re-ality of UFOs.Without your efforts.
